deterioration, abrasion, and leaks. Tighten any loose

or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir is
unknown.

accessed through the left front wheel well.

transmission in PARK
2. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir
should be between the MAX and MIN level lines.
3. If the fluid level is lower than the MIN level line, add
brake fluid until it reaches the MAX level line.
4. Install the reservoir cap and apply the brake pedal
forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the master cylinder fittings and the
brake caliper fittings.
