WARNING
If too much brake fluid is added, it
can spill on the engine and/or fuel
operated heater parts,
if equipped. If the vehicle has a
diesel engine and a fuel operated
heater, see

You or others could be burned,

damaged. Add brake fluid only
when work is done on the brake
hydraulic system. See

Checking Brake Fluid
Check brake fluid by looking at the
brake fluid reservoir. See

hydraulic system checked to see if
there is a leak.
After work is done on the brake
hydraulic system, make sure the
level is above the MIN but not over
the MAX mark.
What to Add
Use only new DOT 3 brake fluid
from a sealed container. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11

reservoir cap and the area around
the cap before removing it. This
helps keep dirt from entering the
reservoir.
