reservoir cap or cover with a clean rag t o prevent contamination of
the brake
clutch system before removing the cover.
2 0 When adding fluid, pour it carefully into the reservoir t o avoid spill-
ing it onto surrounding painted surfaces. Be sure the specified fluid
is used, since mixing different types of brake fluid can cause damage
t o the system. See Recommended lubricants and fluids at the front
of this Chapter or your owner's manual. Warning: Brake
harm
your eyes and damage painted surfaces, so use extreme caution when
handling or pouring it. Do not use brake fluid that has been standing
open or is more than one year old. Brake
absorbs moisture from
the air. Excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking effec-
tiveness.
21 A t this time the fluid and master cylinder can be inspected for con-
tamination. The system should be drained and refilled if deposits, dirt
particles or water droplets are seen in the fluid.
2 2 After filling the reservoir t o the proper level, make sure the cover
or cap is on tight t o prevent fluid leakage.
2 3 The brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder will drop slightly
as the pads and the brake shoes at each wheel wear down during nor-
mal operation. If the master cylinder requires repeated additions to keep
it
at the proper level, it's an indication of leakage in the brake system,
which should be corrected immediately. Check all brake lines and con-
nections (see Section 2 0 for more information).
2 4 If, upon checking the master cylinder fluid level, you discover one
or both reservoirs empty or nearly empty, the brake system should be
bled (Chapter

Periodic inspection of the tires may spare you the inconvenience
of being stranded with a flat tire.
It can also provide you with vital in-
formation regarding possible problems in the steering and suspension
systems before major damage occurs.

The original tires on this vehicle are equipped with 112-inch side
5.2 A tire tread depth indicator should be used t o monitor
tire wear
-
they are available at auto parts stores and
service stations and cost very little
bands that will appear when tread depth reaches
6-inch, but they
don't appear until the tires are worn out. Tread wear can be monitored
with a simple, inexpensive device known as a tread depth indicator
(see illustration).
3
Note any abnormal tread wear (see illustration). Tread pattern
irregularities such as cupping, flat spots and more wear on one side
than the other are indications of front end alignment
balance
problems. If any of these conditions are noted, take the vehicle t o a
tire shop or service station t o correct the problem.

Look closely for cuts, punctures and embedded nails or tacks.
