Engine Coolant (Petrol models)
Adding Engine Coolant
Petrol models
Always use genuine Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. This coolant is pre-mixed with 50
percent antifreeze and 50 percent water. Never add straight antifreeze or plain water.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.
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.
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.

Windscreen Washers
Petrol models

Check the fluid level in the windscreen washer reservoir at least monthly during normal use.
Check the reservoir’s fluid level as follows:
1.
Unfasten the reservoir cap.
2.
Pull up the cap until the tube is fully exposed.
3.
Check the fluid trace on the tube. If the fluid level is low, fill the reservoir with windscreen washer fluid.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality windscreen washer fluid. This increases the cleaning capability and prevents freezing in cold weather.
376
Maintenance
When you refill the reservoir, clean the edges of the windscreen wiper blades with windscreen washer fluid on a clean cloth. This will help to condition them.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windscreen washer reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint, while a vinegar/water solution can damage the windscreen washer pump. Use only commercially- available windscreen washer fluid.

Manual Transmission Fluid
Onvehicleswithmanual transmission The transmission should be drained and refilled with new fluid according to the time and distance recommendations in the maintenance schedule.
Always use genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). If it is not available, you may use an API service SJ or higher grade motor oil with a viscosity of SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 as a temporary replacement. However, motor oil does not contain the proper additives, and continued use can cause stiffer shifting. Replace as soon as it is convenient.
Onvehicleswithi-SHIFT The transmission should be drained and refilled with new fluid according to the time and distance recommendations in the maintenance schedule.
Always use genuine Honda MTF-3

The fuel filter should be replaced according to the time and distance recommendations in the mainte- nance schedule.
It is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 40,000 km (25,000
miles), or 2 years (Except EU, Australia and New Zealand) if the fuel is suspected to be contaminated. In a high dust environment, the filter may become clogged sooner.Have a qualified technician change the fuel filter. Since the fuel system is under pressure, fuel can spray out and create a hazard if all fuel line connections are not handled correctly.

OnEuropeanmodels The fuel filter should be drained of water according to the time and distance recommendations in the maintenance schedule.
After the vehicle has been stored for an extended period, the engine may not start. If water stays in the fuel system, you will see the symbol on the multi-information display when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.

Headlight Aiming The headlights were properly aimed when your vehicle was new. If you regularly carry heavy items in the luggage area or pull a trailer, readjustment may be required. Adjustments should be done by your dealer or other qualified technician.
The vertical angle of the headlights can be adjusted. For more information, see page 146
(Forsometypes) Onvehicleswithhighvoltagedischarge typelowbeamheadlights Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic headlight adjusting system that adjusts the vertical angle of the headlights (low beam) automatically. Refer to page more information.

Headlights with High Voltage Discharge Tubes (For some types) The low beam headlight bulbs are a type of high voltage discharge tube. High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the light switch off and the key removed. Because of this, you should not attempt to examine or change a low beam headlight bulb yourself. If a low beam headlight bulb fails, take the vehicle to your dealer to have it replaced.
Replacing a Headlight Bulb Your vehicle has halogen headlight bulbs. When replacing a bulb, handle it by its base, and protect the glass from contact with your skin or hard objects. If you touch the glass, clean it with denatured alcohol and a clean cloth.
Halogen headlight bulbs get very hot when lit. Oil, perspiration, or a scratch on the glass can cause the bulb to overheat and shatter.
