Maintenance and Care
Normal brake pad wear could cause
the fluid level to fall. However, low
fluid level may be caused by a leak
too, and requires accurate checkup of
the braking system.
CAUTION!
The symbol
on the tank cap
identifies the synthetic type of brake
fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral type. Using mineral fluids
damages the special rubber linings of
the brake system irreparably.
WARNING!
•
To avoid contamination from foreign
materials or moisture, use only new
brake fluid or fluid that has been in
a tightly closed container. Keep the
master cylinder reservoir cap secured
at all times.
•
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir
can result in spilling brake fluid.
Brake fluid can also damage painted
and vinyl surfaces, make sure it does
not spill over these surfaces.

•
Do not allow petroleum based fluid
to contaminate the brake fluid. Brake
seal components could be damaged.

Adding Windshield/Headlight Washer
Fluid
The reservoir on the left side of the
engine compartment contains the fluid
to wash the windshield, the window
liftgate and headlights (if equipped).
During scheduled services or when the
message of low level of the washer
fluid appears together with the
related telltale
add more fluid as
soon as possible.
Depending on the system installed in
the vehicle, the fluid reservoir may
contain nearly 5.3 Quarts (5 liters) of
windshield/headlight washer fluid or
nearly 3.7 Quarts (3.5 liters) of washer
fluid.
• Remove the reservoir cap in the
engine compartment and lift the
filler neck.
• Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (refer to "Refillings
Table" in this section) and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush
out the residual water.
• When refilling the washer fluid
reservoir, apply some washer fluid to
a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade
performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your
windshield/headlight washer system
in cold weather, select a solution or
mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate.
This rating information can be found
on most washer fluid containers.
