Adding Engine Coolant

EXPANSION TANK
MAX LINE MIN LINE
If the coolant level in the expansion
tank is at or below the MIN line, add
coolant to bring it up to the MAX line.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
The coolant you add should always
be a mixture of 50 % antifreeze and
50 % water. Never add straight
antifreeze or plain water.
Always use genuine Honda All
Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
This coolant is pre-mixed with 50 %
antifreeze and 50 % water. It does not
require any additional mixing. The
cooling system contains many
aluminium components that can
corrode if an improper antifreeze is
used. Some antifreeze, even though
labelled as safe for aluminium parts,
may not provide adequate protection.

Cooling System (Diesel models)

Removing the expansion
tank cap while the engine is
hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding
you.
Always let the engine and
radiator cool down before
removing the expansion tank
cap.
