Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
{
Do not add brake fluid before you check
the level. If you do, you could get too
much brake fluid. Brake fluid could spill
on the hot engine and it can catch fire.
You could be burned and your vehicle
could be damaged. See "Checking Brake
Fluid" in this section.
If your vehicle has
hydraulic brakes, there
is a brake master
cylinder in the engine
compartment on the
driver side of the vehicle.
Refer to the
Maintenance Schedule
to determine when to
check the brake fluid.
Checking Brake Fluid
Apply the brake pedal several times with the
ignition off. The brake fluid reservoir is in
the engine compartment on the driver side of the
vehicle. Clean one of the reservoir caps and
the area around the cap, and remove it.
The fluid level should be
even with the bottom
ring of the filler opening.
If it is low, add enough
fluid to fill the reservoir to
the proper level.
