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.

Draining the coolant requires access

to the underside of the vehicle.

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 fully clockwise. Turn the

ignition off.

2. Open the hood. Make sure the

engine and radiator are cool to the

touch.

3. Remove the radiator cap.

DRAIN PLUG

4. Loosen the drain plug on the

bottom of the radiator. The

coolant will drain through the

splash guard. Remove the drain

bolt and washer from the engine

block.
