Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Qualified, Professional Technicians

The service and repair information provided is intended for use by qualified, professional technicians. Attempting service or repairs without the proper training, tools, and equipment could cause injury to you or others. It could also damage the vehicle or create an unsafe condition.

Proper methods and procedures for performing service, maintenance, and repairs are described. Some procedures require the use of specially designed tools and dedicated equipment. Any person who intends to use a replacement part, service procedure, or a tool that is not recommended by Honda must determine the risks to their personal safety and the safe operation of the vehicle.

Because the information given is intended for the professional service technician, Warnings about many basic shop safety practices (e.g., Hot parts - wear gloves) have not been provided. If you have not received shop safety training or do not feel confident about your knowledge of safe servicing practices, it is recommend that you do not attempt to perform the service procedure(s).
