Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield
washer reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water
solution can damage the windshield washer pump.
Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the
tank. We recommend using Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the fluid carefully.
If the fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a dealer inspect for leaks or
worn brake pads as soon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle’s braking system
and can cause extensive damage.
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first
with a paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has
deteriorated, you should change the wiper blades.
1. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.
2. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then
the passenger side.
3. Press and hold the tab, then slide the
holder off the wiper arm.

by pulling the tabbed end out.
5. Insert the flat side of the new wiper
blade onto the bottom part of the holder.
Insert the blade all the way.
6. Install the end of the wiper blade into
the end cap.
7. Slide the wiper holder onto the wiper
arm until it locks.
8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm
first, then the driver side.
Avoid dropping the wiper arm, as it may damage the windshield.
To Change the Rear Wiper Blade
1. Raise the wiper arm off. Pivot up the
bottom end of the wiper blade until it
comes off from the wiper arm.

with the indent.
