Brakes/Clutch Fluid (cont'd)

NOTE: Due to some driving habits or climates, brakes may

"squeal" when you first apply them or when you have them

partially applied; this is normal, and does not indicate ex-
cessive wear. The wear indicator makes a "screeching" sound
while the brakes are applied.

Brake Fluid

Check the fluid level in the

brake reservoir periodically; it

should be between the MAX
and MIN marks on the reser-
voir.

If the level is near the MIN
mark, add fluid to raise it to the

MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use

only brake fluid manufactured

to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications (see reservoir cap) from a

sealed container. Follow the manufacturer's instructions
printed on the can.

NOTE: A low brake fluid level may be an indication of brake

pad wear or of brake fluid leakage. You should have your

brakes checked if the brake fluid reservoir is low before re-

filling it.

CAUTION: The arrow on the reservoir cap must be pointing

forward after the cap is installed. Make sure the brake warning

switch wiring doesn't get caught between the cap and top

edge of the reservoir.

Clutch Fluid

Check the fluid level in the
clutch reservoir periodically; it
should be between the MAX
and MIN marks on the reser-

voir.

If the level is near the MIN

mark, add fluid to raise it to the

MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use

only brake fluid manufactured

to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications from a sealed container.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can.

NOTE: A low clutch fluid level may be an indication of clutch

fluid leakage. You should have your clutch checked if the

clutch fluid level in the reservoir is low.
