MAINTENANCE
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If
there is a problem with the sensor, a warning message appears on the Multi-
Information Display Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Window Washer Fluid
Check the amount of window washer fluid
by looking at the reservoir. Fill the
reservoir if it is low. Pour the washer fluid
carefully. Do not overflow the reservoir.
Canadian Models Only
If the washer fluid is low, a message appears on the Multi-Information Display.
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.
