Cooling System

Replacing Engine Coolant

The cooling system should be

completely drained and refilled with
new coolant according to the time
and distance recommendations in
the maintenance schedule. Only use
Honda All Season Antifreeze/
Coolant Type 2. Use of any non-
Honda coolant or plain water can
result in corrosion and deposits in

the cooling system.

Draining the coolant requires access
to the underside of the car. Unless

you have the tools and knowledge,
you should have this maintenance

done by a skilled mechanic.

1. Turn the ignition ON (II). Turn

the heater temperature control

dial to maximum heat (climate
control to 90°F/32°C). Turn off
the ignition. Open the hood. Make
sure the engine and radiator are
cool to the touch.

2. Remove the radiator cap.

3. Loosen the drain plug on the

bottom of the radiator. The
coolant will come out through the
hole in the splash cover.
