To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
LHD
RHD
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,
the brake warning lamp lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
The fluid in the master cylinder should be
checked when doing other work under the
bonnet. The brake system should also be
checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake flu-
id is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the
brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the performance.
WARNING
l Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and will damage painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid
gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush
immediately with clean water. Follow up
with a doctor as necessary.
CAUTION
l
Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake
fluid to prevent chemical reactions. Do not
let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix
with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex-
cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.
Battery
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s
electrical system working properly. Regular
inspection and care are especially important
in cold weather.
NOTE
l After replacing the battery, the electronic
control system data for the automatic trans-
mission, etc., will be erased. As a result,
shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after sev-
eral changes in speed.
