Coolant Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Look at the coolant level in the coolant reservoir. Make sure it is between the MAX mark (A) and the MIN mark (B).

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