MAINTENANCE
Brake Fluid
Routine inspections are recommended to keep the brake system in good operating condition.
Change the brake fluid at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. The brake fluid should also be
changed if it becomes contaminated, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. View the brake fluid level at the reservoir under the hood (1). The level should be about 1/2 in. (12.5 mm)
from the top of the reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is lower, check for leakage in the system and add brake fluid.
4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.
WARNING
•
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle of
brake fluid. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air.
•
Never mix different types of brake fluid. Fluids used should be DOT4.
•
Moisture may cause brake fade or failure, and the possibility of accident or severe injury.
