Brake Fluid
For a manual transmission model, the tank of the brake fluid is common with a tank of
the clutch fluid.
WARNING
• If the brake fluid gets in your eyes, rinse it off immediately with a large amount
of water for 15 minutes or longer. Also, if still abnormality such as irritation is felt,
seek medical attention.
CAUTION
• Before refilling the tank, clean the area around the cap and fill brake fluid from
a clean container. Foreign objects getting in the tank will lead to a brake system
failure.
• Inspect and change brake fluid according to the Maintenance Schedule.
• Use only the specified brake fluid.
• Be careful not to let brake fluid come in contact with skin. If fluid comes into
contact with skin, wash away the fluid with water.
• Brake fluid melts paintwork and vehicle component materials such as plastic,
vinyl and rubber. It is also highly corrosive on metals. If it is spilled, immediately
wipe the area clean or wash away the fluid with water.
• If skin irritation persists, check with a doctor.
• Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to close the
container tightly for storage.
• Do not mix brake fluid with fluids of a non-specified brand. Due to chemical
reactions, any mixture of differently branded fluids will cause failure of the brake
system.
CAUTION (Continued)
WARNING
• If there are abnormalities with the brake system, avoid driving the vehicle and
contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer.
