Brake Fluid

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when
to check the brake fluid.
CAUTION:
{
Do not add brake fluid before you check the
level. If you do, you could get too much brake
fluid. Brake fluid could spill on the hot engine
and it can catch fire. You could be burned and
your vehicle could be damaged. See "Checking
Brake Fluid" in this section.
If your vehicle has
hydraulic brakes, there is a
brake master cylinder in
the engine compartment
on the driver side of the
vehicle.
Checking Brake Fluid
Apply the brake pedal several times with the ignition off.
The brake fluid reservoir is in the engine compartment
on the driver side of the vehicle. Clean one of the
reservoir caps and the area around the cap, and
remove it.
The fluid level should be
even with the bottom ring
of the filler opening. If it is
low, add enough fluid to fill
the reservoir to the proper
level.
