Clutch Fluid - Chevrolet Captiva Owner's Manual

When the brake fluid falls to a low
level, the brake warning light comes on.
See Brake System Warning Light on
page 4-20.
What to Add
Use only new DOT 4 brake fluid from a
sealed container. It is recommended
that the brake hydraulic system be
flushed and refilled with new DOT 4
fluid at a regular maintenance service
every two years. See the maintenance
schedule.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir
cap and the area around the cap before
removing it. This helps keep dirt from
entering the reservoir.
Warning
With the wrong kind of fluid in the
brake hydraulic system, the brakes
might not work well. This could
cause a crash. Always use the proper
brake fluid.
Caution
Using the wrong fluid can badly
Ÿ
damage brake hydraulic system
parts. For example, just a few
drops of mineral-based oil, such
as engine oil, in the brake
hydraulic system can damage
brake hydraulic system parts so
badly that they will have to be
replaced. Do not let someone put
in the wrong kind of fluid.
If brake fluid is spilled on the
Ÿ
vehicle's painted surfaces, the
paint finish can be damaged. Be
careful not to spill brake fluid on
the vehicle. If you do, wash it off
immediately.

CLUTCH FLUID

The clutch fluid level must be between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
When filling up, ensure maximum
cleanliness as contamination of the
clutch fluid can lead to clutch system
malfunctions. Have the cause of the
loss of clutch fluid remedied by a
CHEVROLET retailer.
Only use clutch fluid approved for the
vehicle.
See Clutch Fluid under Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 10-5.
