Brake Fluid - Pontiac Vibe 2003 Owner's Manual

NOTICE:
D
When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer's instructions for
adding water.
D
Don't mix water with ready
fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze
and damage your washer fluid tank and
other parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn't clean as well as washer fluid.
D
Fill your washer fluid tank only
-
three quarters full when it's very cold. This
allows for expansion if freezing occurs,
which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.
D
Don't use engine coolant (antifreeze) in
your windshield washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.

Brakes

Brake Fluid

There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in
the reservoir might go down. The first is that the brake
fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal
brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, the fluid
level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out of the brake system. If it is, you should
have your brake system fixed, since a leak means that
sooner or later your brakes won't work well, or won't
work at all.
Your brake master
cylinder reservoir is on the
driver's side of the engine
compartment. It is filled
-
with DOT 3 brake fluid.
