Adding Engine Coolant
If
the coolant level
in
the reserve
tank is at or below the MIN line, add
coolant to bring it up to the
MAX
line.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
This coolant should always be a
mixture of
50
percent antifreeze and
50
percent water. Never add straight
antifreeze
or
plain water.
Always use Genuine Honda
Antifreeze/Coolant.
If
it is not
available, you may use another
major-brand non-silicate coolant as a
temporary replacement. Make sure it
is a high-quality coolant
recommended for aluminum engines.
However, continued use of any non-
Honda coolant can result in
corrosion, causing the cooling
system to malfunction or fail. Have
the cooling system flushed and
refilled with Honda antifreeze/
coolant as soon as possible.
Cooling System
If
the reserve tank is completely
empty, you should also check the
coolant level
in
the radiator.
Removing the radiator 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 radiator cap.
1.
Make sure the engine and radiator
are cool.
