Brake Fluid
If your vehicle has
hydraulic brakes,
there is a brake
master cylinder. Refer
to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine
when to check your
brake fluid.
{
CAUTION:
Do not add brake fluid before you check
the level. If you do, you could get too
much brake fluid. Brake fluid could spill
on the hot engine and it can catch fire.
You could be burned and your vehicle
could be damaged. See “Checking Brake
Fluid” in this section.
Checking Brake Fluid
Apply the brake pedal several times with the
ignition off. Then clean one of the reservoir caps
and the area around the cap, and remove it.
The fluid level should be even with the bottom ring
of the filler opening. If it is low, add enough fluid
to fill the reservoir to the proper level.
What to Add
Use the proper fluid listed in the Maintenance
Schedule. Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the
area around the cap before removing it. This
will help keep dirt from entering the reservoir.
{
CAUTION:
With the wrong kind of fluid in the brake
system, the brakes may not work well, or
they may not even work at all. This could
cause a crash. Always use the proper
brake fluid.
