Power Steering Fluid  
Always use Honda Power Steering  
Fluid. You may use another power  
steering fluid as an emergency  
replacement, but have the power  
steering system flushed and refilled  
with Honda PSF as soon as possible.  
UPPER LEVEL  
A low power steering fluid level can  
indicate a leak in the system. Check  
the fluid level frequently, and have  
the system inspected as soon as  
possible.  
LOWER LEVEL  
Check the level on the side of the  
reservoir when the engine is cold.  
The fluid should be between the

Replacing a Headlight Bulb  
Your vehicle has halogen headlight  
bulbs. When replacing a bulb, handle  
it by its base, and protect the glass  
from contact with your skin or hard  
objects. If you touch the glass, clean  
it with denatured alcohol and a clean  
cloth.  
The headlights were properly aimed  
when your vehicle was new. If you  
regularly carry heavy items in the  
cargo area or pull a trailer,  
readjustment may be required.  
Adjustments should be done by your  
dealer or another qualified  
technician.  
Halogen headlight bulbs get very hot  
when lit. Oil, perspiration, or a scratch  
on the glass can cause the bulb to  
overheat and shatter.  
1. Open the hood.  
To change the headlight bulb on  
the driver’s side, remove the  
under-hood fuse box from its stay  
by pulling it out.
