Power Steering The power steering on your car helps provide 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. RESERVOIR CAP 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 UPPER the level has dropped close to or below the lower mark, check for LOWER 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.

Power Steering
The power steering on your car helps provide 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 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.
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.
