If the High Coolant/Oil Temperature
• If the reserve tank is low or empty, don t drive without adding coolant
(page 104). After adding coolant, turn the engine on and check the
high coolant/oil temperature indicator.
If the indicator doesn t turn off, do not drive. The engine needs repair.
Transport your Honda MUV to a Honda dealer (page 156).
If the temperature drops to normal, check the coolant level. If it has
gone down, add more coolant.
• Check for an oil leak.
• Check the oil level. If necessary, add the recommended oil (page 89)
to the upper level mark. If you must leave your Honda MUV to get oil,
secure it as much as possible.
• Start the engine, and check that the high coolant /oil temperature
indicator goes off.
If the indicator goes off-resume driving. If there is a leak do not
drive the ATV until the leak is repaired by a Honda dealer.
If there s a mild coolant leak, you can drive for a while, carefully
watching the indicator. Be prepared to stop and add more coolant or
water. If the leak is bad, transport your Honda MUV to a Honda dealer
(page 156).
