Adding Engine Coolant
RESERVE TANK
If the coolant level in the reserve
tank is at or below the MIN line, add
coolant to bring it up to the MAX line.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
The coolant you add should always
be a mixture of 50 % antifreeze and
50 % water. Never add straight
antifreeze or plain water.
Always use genuine Honda All
Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
This coolant is pre-mixed with 50 %
antifreeze and 50 % water. It does not
require any additional mixing. The
cooling system contains many
aluminium components that can
corrode if an improper antifreeze is
used. Some antifreeze, even though
labelled as safe for aluminium parts,
may not provide adequate protection.
If the reserve tank is completely
empty, you should also check the
coolant level in the radiator.
Cooling System (Petrol models)
Removing the radiator cap
while the engine is hot can
cause the coolant to spray
out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and
radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
