Coolant Check

Remove the engine compartment covers (see ENGINE COMPARTMENT COVER REPLACEMENT ).
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir. Make sure it is between the MAX mark (A) and the MIN mark (B).

If the coolant level in the coolant reservoir is at or below the MIN mark, add coolant to bring it between the MIN and MAX marks, then inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Check the coolant level in the radiator, and add Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 into the radiator up to the base of the filler neck, if needed.
NOTE:
- Always use Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. Using a non-Acura coolant can result in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction or fail.
- Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a mixture of 50 % antifreeze and 50 % water. Do not add water.
Install the engine compartment covers (see ENGINE COMPARTMENT COVER REPLACEMENT ).
