Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the
tank. We recommend using Acura Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the fluid carefully.
If the fluid level is at or below the MIN
mark, have a dealer inspect for leaks or
worn brake pads as soon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle's braking system
and can cause extensive damage.
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first
with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has
deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.
1. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK).
2. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then
the passenger side.
