Brake And Clutch Fluid - Honda Accord Sedan 1997 Reference Owner's Manual

Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are up to three
reservoirs, depending on equipment.
They are:
Brake fluid reservoir
Clutch fluid reservoir (manual
transmission only)
ABS reservoir (cars with ABS)
The brake fluid in the brake and anti-
lock brake systems should be
replaced according to the time and
distance recommendations in the
maintenance schedule.
Brake Fluid
Always use Genuine 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 MIN and MAX marks on the side

below the MIN mark, your brake

worn brake pads.
