It is not a good idea to "top off"
your brake fluid. Adding brake
fluid will not correct a leak. If you
add fluid when the linings are
worn, then there will be 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.
CAUTION
If there is too much brake fluid,
it can spill on the engine. The
fluid will burn if the engine is
hot enough. You or others
could be burned, and your
vehicle could be damaged. Add
brake fluid only when work is
done on the brake hydraulic
system.
CAUTION
Used brake fluid should not be
disposed of with regular trash.
Have the brake fluid changed
by an authorized service center,
familiar with the requirements
of the law regarding used brake
fluid disposal, to help protect
the environment and your
health.
Section 4
Check the master cylinder fluid
level if the SERVICE BRAKE
SYSTEM message appears on the
Driver Information Center display.
See "Driver Information Center
Messages" in Section 1 for more
information.
The Brake System Warning Light
will also be on.
See "Brake System Warning Light"
in Section 1.
Check the fluid level in the
reservoir.
To prevent contamination of the
brake fluid, make sure the brake
reservoir and cap are thoroughly
clean before removing the cap.
