Checking the radiator and
condenser
If either of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, take your vehicle to a Scion dealer.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, be care-
ful not to touch the radiator or con-
denser when the engine is hot.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the radiator
and condenser, do not perform the
work by yourself.

Checking brake fluid

To check the fluid level, simply look at
the see–through reservoir. The level
should be between the "MAX"
"MIN" lines on the reservoir.
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go
down slightly as the brake pads wear. So
be sure to keep the reservoir filled.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it
may indicate a serious mechanical prob-
lem.
If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or
FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the
brake reservoir.
