Power Steering Fluid

Except for cars with Electric Power
Steering (EPS)
You should check the fluid level in
the power steering reservoir at least
once a year. Check the level when
the engine is cold. Look at the side
of the reservoir. The fluid should be
between the UPPER LEVEL and
LOWER LEVEL. If it is below the
LOWER LEVEL, add power steering
fluid to the UPPER LEVEL.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so
you do not spill. Clean up any spills
immediately. Spilled fluid could
damage components in the engine
compartment.

Maintenance
UPPER LEVEL
Petrol models LOWER LEVEL
Using automatic transmission fluid
or another brand of power steering
fluid will damage the system. Use
only genuine HONDA Power
Steering Fluid (V, II or S).
UPPER LEVEL
Diesel models LOWER LEVEL
A low power steering fluid level can
indicate a leak in the system. Check
the fluid level frequently, and have
the system inspected as soon as
possible.
Turning the steering wheel to full
left or right lock and holding it there
can damage the power steering
pump.
