Power Steering The power steering on your car provides easy handling while parking and maneuvering in traffic, without loss of road " f e e l " at highway speeds. An engine-driven hydraulic pump provides full power assist at low speeds and decreasing assist as the car goes faster. CAUTION: If the power steering system should fail, or if the engine should stall, the car can still be steered. However, much greater effort will be required, particularly in sharp turns at low speed. NOTE: You may feel a slight clunk or knock when turning the wheel with the engine off. This is a normal condition due to the design of the system. Power Steering Fluid Check the power steering fluid level with the engine cold and the car parked on level ground. Make sure the fluid level is between the upper and lower marks on the reservoir. If the level has dropped close to or below the lower mark, check for leaks before adding fluid to the upper mark. Do not overfill. RESERVOIR CAP UPPER LOWER CAUTION: Use only genuine Honda power steering fluid. The use of other fluids such as A.T.F. or other manufacturer's power steering fluid will damage the system.

Power Steering
The power steering on your car provides easy handling while
parking and maneuvering in traffic, without loss of road "feel"
at highway speeds. An engine-driven hydraulic pump provides
full power assist at low speeds and decreasing assist as the
car goes faster.
CAUTION: If the power steering system should fail, or if the
engine should stall, the car can still be steered. However,
much greater effort will be required, particularly in sharp turns
at low speed.
NOTE: You may feel a slight clunk or knock when turning the
wheel with the engine off. This is a normal condition due to the
design of the system.
Power Steering Fluid
Check the power steering fluid
level with the engine cold and
the car parked on level ground.
Make sure the fluid level is be-
tween the upper and lower
marks on the reservoir. If the
level has dropped close to or
below the lower mark, check
for leaks before adding fluid to
the upper mark. Do not overfill.
CAUTION: Use only genuine Honda power steering fluid. The
use of other fluids such as A.T.F. or other manufacturer's
power steering fluid will damage the system.
