Replacing Brake System Parts
The brakes may not work properly, or with
the same performance if un-approved parts
are used or parts are improperly installed.
Always replace brake system parts with
new, approved replacement parts. And
ensure the work is done by qualified
mechanics.
Brake Fluid
The brake master cylinder reservoir is filled
with DOT 3 brake fluid as indicated on the
reservoir cap.

63 for the location of the
reservoir.
There are only two reasons why the brake
fluid level in the reservoir might be low:

Normal brake pad wear. This will
be corrected when new pads are
installed, and is not an indication
that the system needs repair.

A fluid leak in the brake hydraulic
system. Have the brake hydraulic
system repaired. With a leak in
the system the brakes will not
preform well.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap
and the area around the cap before
removing it.
Do not top off the brake fluid. If fluid is
added when the pads are worn, there will
be too much fluid when new brake pads
are installed.
Warning
If too much brake fluid is added, it may
spill on the engine and burn, if the
engine is hot enough. Potentially
burning you or other and damageing the
vehicle. Brake fluid should only be
added when when work is done on the
brake hydraulic system.
