CAUTION
If there is too much brake fluid,
it can spill on the engine. The
fluid will burn if the engine is
hot enough. You or others
could be burned, and your
vehicle could be damaged. Add
brake fluid only when work is
done on the brake hydraulic
system.
Check the master cylinder fluid
level in the "see-through" reservoir
at the intervals shown in the
Maintenance Schedule.
The level should be between the
MIN
and
MAX
marks.
If the brake fluid level is low, the
brake system warning light will
come on.
See "Brake System Warning Light"
in Section 1.
If work has just been done on the
brake hydraulic system and the
fluid level is low, bring it up to the
proper level using DOT-3 fluid
from a sealed container.
To prevent contamination of the
brake fluid, make sure the brake
reservoir and cap are thoroughly
clean before removing the cap.
See "Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants" later in this section.
CAUTION
With the wrong kind of fluid in
your brake system, your brakes
may not work well. This could
cause a collision. Always use the
proper brake fluid.
NOTICE
Using the wrong kind of fluid
could severely damage system
components. Always use the
proper brake fluid.
