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.
5-34
If your vehicle has
hydraulic brakes, there's a
brake master cylinder.
Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine
when to check your
brake fluid.

Checking Brake Fluid

Apply the brake pedal several times with the ignition off.
Then 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.
