Add only enough fluid to bring the
fluid up to the proper level.
1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Wipe the cap and the top of
the reservoir clean.
3. Remove the cap.
4. The level should be between
the
MIN
and
MAX
marks.
If the fluid is below the
MIN
mark, you should add fluid.
See the "Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants" chart later in
this section to determine what
kind of fluid to use.
CAUTION
When adding fluid, be careful
not to overfill.
If there is too much 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.
5. Reinstall the cap.

Brake Fluid
CAUTION
Do not let brake fluid touch
your skin or eyes. If you do get
it in your eyes or on your skin,
wash the affected area thor-
oughly with soap and water or
hand cleaner.
CAUTION
Used brake fluid, and the
containers contaminated by the
fluid, should not be disposed of
with regular trash.
Make sure you dispose of mate-
rials in accordance with envi-
ronmental protection
regulations to help protect the
environment and your health.
Change the fluid according to the
maintenance schedule to prevent
hydraulic system corrosion.
Use only the recommended fluid.
See the "Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants" chart later in this
section to determine what kind of
fluid to use.
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.
There are two reasons why the
fluid level might go down:
• The brake fluid level decreases
by an acceptable amount dur-
ing normal brake lining wear.
When new linings are put in,
the fluid level goes back up.
• The other reason is that fluid
may be leaking out of the brake
system. If it is, you should have
the brake system fixed.
Keep the fluid at the proper level.
It is not a good idea to "top off"
your brake fluid. Adding brake
fluid will not correct a leak. If you
add fluid when the linings are
worn, then there will be too much
fluid when you get new brake
linings. You should add (or
remove) brake fluid, as necessary,
only when work is done on the
brake hydraulic system.
