Check the fluid level in the
reservoirs monthly. There are up to
two reservoirs, depending on the
model. They are:
The fluid level should be between
the MIN and MAX marks on the side
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.

Clutch fluid reservoir
(manual transmission models
only)
You will also see the ‘‘BRAKE
FLUID LOW’’ message on the multi-
information display when the brake
fluid level is low.
Replace the brake fluid every 3 years,
independent of the maintenance
message in the multi-information
display.
Always use Acura Heavy Duty Brake
Fluid DOT 3. If it is not available,
you should use only DOT 3 or DOT
4 fluid, from a sealed container, as a
temporary replacement.
Using any non-Acura brake fluid can
cause corrosion and decrease the life
of the system. Have the brake
system flushed and refilled with
Acura Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
DOT 3 as soon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your vehicle’s
braking system and can cause
extensive damage.
