Brakes (cont'd) Brake Fluid Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir periodically; it should be between the MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir. If the level is near the MIN mark, add fluid to raise it to the MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use only brake fluid manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications (see reservoir cap) from a sealed container. Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can. MAX MIN NOTE: A low brake fluid level may be an indication of brake pad wear or of brake fluid leakage. You should have your brakes checked if the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low before re-filling it. CAUTION: The arrow on the reservoir cap must be pointing forward after the cap is installed. Make sure the brake warning switch wiring doesn't get caught between the cap and top edge of the reservoir. Anti-lock Brake Fluid ANTI-LOCK (US: EX, Canada: EX-R) BRAKE FLUID Check the fluid level in the Anti-lock RESERVOIR brake reservoir periodically. To check, drive the car for a few minutes to equalize fluid pressure in the system. The level should be between the MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir. If the level is near the MIN mark, add fluid to raise it to the MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use only brake fluid manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications from a sealed container. Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can. If the level is more than 10 mm (0.4 in) above the MAX mark, it may indicate a malfunction of ABS. Have an authorized Honda dealer check the system as soon as possible.

Brakes (cont'd)
Brake Fluid
Check the fluid level in the brake
reservoir
periodically;
it
should
be
between the MAX and MIN marks
on the reservoir.
If the level is near the MIN mark, add
fluid to raise it to the MAX mark. Do
not
overfill.
Use
only
brake
fluid
manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4
specifications
(see
reservoir
cap)
from a sealed container. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions printed
on the can.
NOTE:
A low brake fluid level may be an indication of brake pad wear or of
brake fluid leakage. You should have your brakes checked if the
brake fluid level in the reservoir is low before re-filling it.
CAUTION:
The arrow on the reservoir cap must be pointing forward after the
cap is installed. Make sure the brake warning switch wiring doesn't
get caught between the cap and top edge of the reservoir.
Anti-lock Brake Fluid
(US: EX, Canada: EX-R)
Check the fluid level in the Anti-lock
brake reservoir periodically.
To check, drive the car for a few
minutes to equalize fluid pressure in
the system.
The
level
should
be
between
the
MAX
and
MIN
marks
on
the
reservoir. If the level is near the MIN
mark,
add
fluid
to
raise
it
to
the
MAX mark.
Do not overfill. Use only brake fluid
manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4
specifications from a sealed container.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can.
If the level is more than 10 mm (0.4 in) above the MAX mark, it may
indicate a malfunction of ABS. Have an authorized Honda dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
