NOTICE: When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water. Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Page 288 There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir might go down. The first is that the fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, the fluid level goes back up.
Page 289 What to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as Delco Supreme 1 No. 12377967). Use new brake fluid from container only. Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area around the cap before removing dirt from entering the reservoir.
Page 290: Brake Wear
Brake Wear Your vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. If you have the all-wheel drive option, your vehicle has four-wheel disc brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
