Parts and consumables:
- Cloth gloves (optional)
- Funnel (as needed)
- rags
- Brake fluid Honda Brake Fluid DOT4 (0820399938HE)
Notes:
This repair description also applies to the 2007-2013 Honda Fit (II) car .
The Honda Jazz 2 brake fluid level is checked periodically during vehicle operation, at each maintenance, after bleeding the hydraulic brake system and if the brake fluid has been replaced.
If the brake fluid level is too low, the multi-information display will show a symbol, which may be accompanied by the warning text "BRAKE FLUID LOW".
The clutch fluid is brake fluid. To top up, use genuine Honda Brake Fluid or an equivalent DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid. Please note that DOT5 brake fluid is not suitable for your vehicle's hydraulic clutch system.
Do not reuse Honda Jazz 2 fluid drained from the system - such brake fluid is contaminated, saturated with moisture and air.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground, allow the engine to cool, and open the hood. The hydraulic clutch reservoir is installed next to the master brake cylinder on the left side of the engine compartment near the bulkhead (next to the brake fluid reservoir).
2. Visually check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir. It should be between the MAX (maximum) and MIN (minimum) marks applied to the translucent wall of the tank. If the fluid level has dropped to the MIN mark, add brake fluid to the reservoir.
Warning:
Do not allow the liquid level to drop below the MIN mark.
3. If the brake fluid level is below the MIN mark, unscrew it counterclockwise and remove the Honda Jazz 2 reservoir cap. Also remove the plug that closes the reservoir.
Note:
Place the lid and cork on a clean rag, preventing both contamination of the lid and dripping liquid from it.
4. Add brake fluid to the clutch fluid reservoir up to the MAX mark.
Notes:
You can use a funnel to avoid spilling the liquid.
If, during the topping up process, Honda Jazz 2 brake fluid gets on wires, plastic or painted body parts, this may damage them. Therefore, when topping up, always place clean rags. If liquid comes into contact with these parts, wipe them off immediately with a clean cloth.
5. Insert the plug back into the tank and screw the cap on by turning it clockwise until it stops. Wipe up spilled liquid with a clean rag.
Note:
A low fluid level may be due to fluid leakage from the hydraulic clutch actuator. In this case, it is necessary to check the status of the system as soon as possible.
Pay attention to the color of the liquid. Fresh brake fluid has a clear yellowish tint. Brake fluid darkens with use as impurities accumulate in it. When the liquid darkens to brown or black, one refill is not enough. Drain the old brake fluid and replace with new. This is a clear sign that it is time to flush the hydraulic system and add the correct amount of new fluid.
The brake fluid used in the hydraulic clutch system is poisonous, so if it comes into contact with the skin, immediately wash the area with plenty of water. If the liquid accidentally gets into the eyes or inside the body, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Some fluids tend to be highly flammable and can ignite even from contact with hot vehicle components.
Brake fluid must not come into contact with mineral oils. Even a small amount of mineral oil damages the brake fluid and hydraulic system.
