If the coolant level drops below the mark «MIN» or lower, add coolant and bring its level to the upper mark «MAX». Check for signs of coolant leakage from the engine cooling system.
Use only Honda All Seas All Season Coolant» ON» Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. This coolant is a mixture of equal proportions of antifreeze and water. Do not add undiluted antifreeze or plain water to the cooling system.
Unsuitable antifreeze can cause corrosive damage to numerous parts of the cooling system, which are made of aluminum alloy. Some brands of antifreeze found on the market, despite the claims of manufacturers about the neutrality of these products to aluminum, do not provide adequate anti-corrosion protection for aluminum parts.
If the coolant in the expansion tank is completely absent, then it is necessary to check its level in the radiator.
Attention! It is dangerous to remove the radiator filler cap while the engine is still hot. This can cause severe burns from hot coolant splashes or steam.
For safety reasons, do not remove the radiator cap until the engine and radiator are cool.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
Without pressing the radiator cap, turn it counterclockwise until it stops. In this case, the pressure in the engine cooling system will decrease to atmospheric pressure.
Press down on the top of the cover and turn it additionally counterclockwise. Then remove the cap from the neck.
The coolant level in the radiator must be level with the base of the filler neck. Add coolant to the radiator if necessary.
Add coolant slowly and carefully, being careful not to spill it. Wipe off spilled fluid immediately as it may damage components in the engine compartment.
Install the radiator cap. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
Add coolant to the expansion tank to the middle level between the marks «MIN» And «MAX». Reinstall the expansion tank cap.
Do not add any additional corrosion inhibitors or other additives to the coolant. These products may react with coolant or be aggressive to engine or radiator materials.
