Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are up to two
reservoirs, depending on the model.
They are:
Brake fluid reservoir (all models)
Clutch fluid reservoir
(manual transmission only)
The brake fluid should be replaced
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Always use Honda DOT 3 brake
fluid. If it is not available, you
should use only DOT 3 or DOT 4
fluid, from a sealed container, as a
temporary replacement. However,
the use of any non-Honda brake fluid
can cause corrosion and decrease
the life of the system. Have the
brake system flushed and refilled
with Honda DOT 3 brake fluid as
soon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your car's braking
system and can cause extensive
damage.

The fluid level should be between
the M I N and MAX marks on the side
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the M I N mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.
