Brake Fluid
Check the fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir monthly. Replace it
according to the maintenance
schedule recommendations.
Always use Acura Precision Crafted
Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3. If it
is not available, you should use only
DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid, from a sealed
container, as a temporary
replacement.
Using any non-Acura brake fluid can
cause corrosion and decrease the life
of the system. Have the brake
system flushed and refilled with
Acura Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
DOT 3 as soon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your vehicle's
braking system and can cause
extensive damage.
MAX
MIN
The fluid level should be between
the MIN and MAX marks on the side
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.
