Brake Fluid

CAUTION:
Don't 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.

If your vehicle has
hydraulic brakes, there's a
brake master cylinder. The
brake master cylinder
reservoir is here. 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.
What to Add
Use the proper fluid listed in your Maintenance
Schedule. Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before removing it. This will help keep
dirt from entering the reservoir.
If it's low, add enough fluid
to fill the reservoir to the
proper level.
