What to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT
fluid. Use new brake fluid from a sealed container
only. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants"
in the Index.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before removing it. This will help keep
dirt from entering the reservoir.
6-30
When your brake fluid falls
to a low level, your brake
warning light will come on.
See "Brake System Warning
Light" in the Index.

CAUTION:
With the wrong kind of fluid in your brake
system, your brakes may not work well, or they
may not even work at all. This could cause a
crash. Always use the proper brake fluid.
NOTICE:
D
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts. For example, just a few
-
drops of mineral based oil, such as engine oil,
in your brake system can damage brake
system parts so badly that they'll have to be
replaced. Don't let someone put in the wrong
kind of fluid.
D
If you spill brake fluid on your vehicle's painted
surfaces, the paint finish can be damaged.
Be careful not to spill brake fluid on your
vehicle. If you do, wash it off immediately.
