Service and Maintenance
The level should be at the proper
mark.
If it is low, bring it up to the proper
level using DOT-3 fluid from a
sealed container.
DOT-4 brake fluid is also
compatible with the components
of your brake system.
Before adding DOT-4 brake fluid,
flush the brake hydraulic system.
Refill the system with DOT-4 brake
fluid from a sealed container at
regular maintenance intervals.
If you choose to use Dot-4 brake
fluid, flush your brake system and
refill it with new brake fluid every
two years.
See "Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants" later in this section.

CAUTION
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 collision. Always use the
proper brake fluid.
NOTICE
Using the wrong kind of fluid
could severely damage system
components. Always use the
proper brake fluid.
Don't spill brake fluid on the
vehicle's exterior surfaces. It can
damage your paint. If you do,
wash it off immediately.
