the minimum level mark and replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure
to check the brake pads for wear and the brake system for leakage.
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the hood.
 When checking the fluid level, make sure the top of the brake fluid
reservoir is level.
 Use only the recommended quality brake fluid. Otherwise, the
rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking
performance.
 Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor braking performance.
 Be careful that water does not enter the brake fluid reservoir when
refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
 Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.
 Have an authorized dealer inspect the brake system if the brake
fluid level goes down.
Brake light Switch Adjustment
The brake lights switch, which is
activated by the parking pedal, is
properly adjusted when the brake
light comes on just before braking
takes effect. If necessary, adjust
the brake lights switch as follows.
1. Open the hood. (See 7.
CONTROL AND PARTS
FUNCTIONS in this manual for
hood opening and closing procedures.)
2. Turn the adjusting nut ① in or out to make the light come on
properly, then lock the lock nut ②.
