uuMaintenance Under the BonnetuOil Check

Oil Check

We recommend that you check the engine oil level every time you refuel.

Park the vehicle on level ground.

Wait approximately three minutes after turning the engine off before you check the oil.

1. Remove the dipstick (orange).

1Oil Check

If the oil level is near or below the lower mark, slowly

add oil, being careful not to overfill.

The amount of oil consumed depends on how the

vehicle is driven and the climatic and road conditions

encountered. The rate of oil consumption can be up

to 1 litre per 1,000 km/625 miles.

Consumption is likely to be higher when the engine is

new.

2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or

paper towel.

3. Insert the dipstick back all the way into its

hole.

4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the

level. It should be between the upper and

lower marks. Add oil if necessary.

uuMaintenance Under the BonnetuEngine Coolant

Engine Coolant

1Engine Coolant

Specified coolant: Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2

3

WARNING

This coolant is premixed with 50% antifreeze and 50% water. Do not add any

straight antifreeze or water.

Removing the radiator cap while the

engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray

out, seriously scalding you.

We recommend you check the engine coolant level every time you refuel. Check the

reserve tank first. If it is completely empty, also check the coolant level in the

radiator. Add the engine coolant accordingly.

Always let the engine and radiator cool

down before removing the radiator cap.

Reserve Tank

■

If temperatures consistently below -30°C are

expected, the coolant mixture should be changed to

a higher concentration. Consult your Honda dealer

for details about a suitable coolant mixture.

1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.

2. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve

tank.

u If the coolant level is below the MIN

mark, add the specified coolant until it

reaches the MAX mark.

MAX

MIN

If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you may

use another major brand non-silicate coolant as a

temporary replacement. Check that it is a high quality

coolant recommended for aluminium engines.

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.

Reserve Tank

3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.

Do not add rust inhibitors or other additives to your

vehicle’s cooling system. They may not be compatible

with the coolant or with the engine components.

Window Washer

Reservoir

Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water

solution in the windscreen washer reservoir.

Antifreeze can damage your vehicle's paint. A

vinegar/water solution can damage the windscreen

washer pump.

Pour the washer fluid carefully. Do not

overflow the reservoir.

Use only commercially available windscreen washer

fluid.

Avoid prolonged use of hard water to prevent lime

scale build up.

Fuel Filter

Replace fuel filter according to the time and distance recommendations in the

maintenance schedule.

Models without Service Book

It is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 40,000 km (25,000 miles), or two

years, if you suspect the fuel you are using is contaminated. In a dusty environment,

the filter may become clogged sooner.

All models

Have a qualified technician change the fuel filter. Fuel in the system can spray out

and create a hazard if all fuel line connections are not handled correctly.
