Brakes (cont'd)
Brake Wear Indicators
Your car is equipped with audible brake wear indicators. When the
brake pads wear to the point that they should be replaced, they
will make a "screeching" sound while the brakes are applied.
NOTE: Due to some driving habits or climates, brakes may
"squeal" when you first apply them or when you have them par­
tially applied; this is normal, and does not indicate excessive wear.
The wear indicator makes a "screeching" sound while the brakes
are applied.
Brake Fluid
Check the fluid level in the brake
reservoir periodically; it should
be between the MAX and MIN
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is near the MIN mark,
add fluid to raise it to the MAX
mark. Do not overfill. Use only
brake fluid
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications
(see reservoir cap) from a sealed
container. Follow
facturer's instructions printed on the can.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level may be an indication of brake pad
wear or of brake fluid leakage. You should have your brakes check­
ed if the brake fluid reservoir is low before re-filling it.
C A U TIO N : The arrow on the reservoir cap must be pointing
forward after the cap is installed. Make sure the brake warning
switch wiring doesn't get caught between the cap and top edge of
the brake fluid reservoir.
