Windshield Washer Fluid
(CONX)
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.
Fill your washer fluid tank only
%
full when it's very cold. This
allows for expansion, which
could damage the
tank
if it is
completely full,
Don't use radiator antifreez in your
windshield washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.
Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is
filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
There are only two reasons why the
brake fluid level in your master cylinder
might go down. The first is that the
brake fluid goes down to an acceptable
level during normal brake lining wear.
When new linings are put in, the fluid
level goes back up.
The other reason is that fluid is leaking
out of the brake system. If it is, you
should have your brake system fixed,
since a leak means that sooner or later
your brakes won't work well, or won't
work at all. So, it isn't a good idea to
"top off' your brake fluid. Adding
brake fluid won't correct a leak. If you
add fluid when your linings are worn,
then you'll have too much fluid when
you get new brake linings. You should
add (or remove) brake fluid, as
necessary, only when work is done on
the brake hydraulic system.
