Checking Brake Fluid
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap.
Just look at the windows on the brake fluid reservoir.
The fluid levels should be above MIN. If they aren't,
have your brake system checked
t o
see if there is a leak.
After work is done on the brake hydraulic system,
make sure the levels are above MIN and below the top
of each window.
What to
I
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake
fluid
--
such as Delco Supreme 1 1
@
(GM Part
No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only, and always clean the brake fluid
reservoir cap before removing it.
With the wrong kind of fluid in your brake
system, your brakes may not work well, or they
may not even work
at
all. This could cause a
crash. Always use the proper brake fluid.
