will help blade performance. To prevent
freeze-up of your windshield washer system
in cold weather, select a solution or mixture
that meets or exceeds the temperature range
of your climate. This rating information can
be found on most washer fluid containers.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be in-
spected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Plan” for the proper maintenance
intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
WARNING!
can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and pos-
sible brake damage. You would not have
your full braking capacity in an emergency.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level in the master cylinder should
be checked when performing under hood ser-
vices, or immediately if the brake system
warning light is on.
Be sure to clean the top of the master cylin-
der area before removing the cap. If neces-
sary, add fluid to bring the fluid level up to
the requirements described on the brake
fluid reservoir. Fluid level can be expected to
fall as the brake pads wear. The brake fluid
level should be checked when the pads are
replaced. However, low fluid level may be
caused by a leak and a checkup may be
needed.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual
transmission , the brake fluid reservoir sup-
plies fluid to both the brake system and the
clutch release system. The two systems are
separated in the reservoir, and a leak in one
system will not affect the other system. The
manual transmission clutch release system
should not require fluid replacement during
the life of the vehicle. If the brake fluid
reservoir is low and the brake system does not
indicate any leaks or other problems, it may
be a result of a leak in the hydraulic clutch
release system. See your local authorized
dealer for service.
Use only manufacturer's recommended brake
fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical
Specifications” for further
information.
