Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the
requirements described on the brake fluid res-
ervoir. With disc brakes, fluid level can be
expected to fall as the brake pads wear. How-
ever, low fluid level may be caused by a leak
and a checkup may be needed.
Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake
fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, And Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further
information.
WARNING!
•
Use only manufacturer’s recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants,
And Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for further information. Using the
wrong type of brake fluid can severely
damage your brake system and/or impair
its performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the original factory installed hydraulic mas-
ter cylinder reservoir.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
To avoid contamination from foreign matter
or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid
that has been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap se-
cured at all times. Brake fluid in a open
container absorbs moisture from the air re-
sulting in a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake
failure. This could result in a collision.
•
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can
result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine
parts, causing the brake fluid to catch fire.
Brake fluid can also damage painted and
vinyl surfaces, care should be taken to
avoid its contact with these surfaces.
•
Do not allow petroleum based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial or complete brake failure. This
could result in a collision.
Clutch Hydraulic System — Manual
Transmission (If Equipped)
The clutch hydraulic system is fed by a segre-
gated volume of fluid within the brake system
master cylinder reservoir. In the event of leak-
age or wear, use only the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubri-
cants, And Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for further information.
Manual Transmission — If Equipped
Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug on
the left side of the transmission. The fluid level
should be 1/4 inch (6.4mm) below the bottom of
the fill hole. Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain
the proper level. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants,
And Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
