Power Steering, Air Cleaner Element

Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. If it is not available, you may use another power steering fluid as an emergency replacement. However, continued use can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather. Have the power steering system flushed and refilled with Honda PSF as soon as possible. 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.
Turning the steering wheel to full left or right lock and holding it there can damage the power steering pump.
Air Cleaner Element
The air cleaner element should be cleaned or replaced according to the time and distance recommendations in the maintenance schedule.
Cleaning (Severe Conditions)
Clean the air cleaner element by blowing compressed air through it in the opposite direction to normal air flow. If you do not have access to compressed air (such as a service station), ask your Honda dealer to do this service.
Follow the replacement procedure for removal and reinstallation.
Replacement
The air cleaner element is inside the air cleaner housing on the passenger's side of the engine compartment.
To replace it:
1. Unsnap the four hold-down clamps and remove the air cleaner housing cover.
2. Remove the old air cleaner element.
3. Clean the inside of the air cleaner housing with a damp rag.
4. Place the new air cleaner element in the air cleaner housing.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner housing cover, snap the four hold-down clamps back into place.
