Checking the brake fluid level

above the lower level. Check the brake fluid

plenish the brake fluid if necessary.

Specified brake fluid:
DOT 4
EWS00821
WARNING
Improper maintenance can result in loss
of braking ability. Observe these precau-
tions:
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, reducing brak-
ing performance.
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4
may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion.
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Wa-
ter will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
