the fan runs once the car reached operating temp (about 195 deg F if I remember right)
if the fluid is really low, fill the rad up AND the reservoir 1/2 way, then bleed the system (with the heater on full heat), then drive around till the fan comes on and completes 2 cycles, then let it all cool off and check the rad level again and add if necessary.
Use only Prestone + distilled water, or even better go and get Honda pre-mix coolant from the dealer.
