Power steering fluid

Check the power steering fluid reservoir level at least once a year. Check the fluid level visually against the marks on the reservoir with the engine cold. The fluid level should be between the UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks. If the power steering fluid level is low, fill the reservoir to the UPPER LEVEL mark.

Add fluid slowly and carefully to avoid spilling it. Wipe up any spilled fluid immediately, as it may damage components in the engine compartment.

Using a non-recommended fluid, such as automatic transmission fluid, may damage the power steering system. Use only genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid (type V, II or S).

A drop in power steering fluid level may be caused by a leak in the system. In this case, check the fluid level in the reservoir more frequently and have the system inspected by an authorized Honda dealer at the first opportunity.

Do not hold the steering wheel at full lock (wheels turned fully left or right) for extended periods, as this may damage the power steering pump.
