Brake

Fluid

Your brake master cylinder reservoir

here. It

filled

with

DOT-3 brake fluid.

There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level

the

reservoir might go down. The first is that

the

brake fluid

goes down to an acceptable level during normal brake

lining

wear. When new linings are put

in,

the fluid level

goes back

up.

The other reason

that fluid is leaking out

of the brake system.

it is, you should have your brake

system fixed, since a leak means that sooner or later your

brakes won’t work well, or won’t work at

all.

So,

it isn’t a good idea to “top

off’

your brake fluid.

Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid

when your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much

fluid when you get new brake linings.

You

should add

(or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is

done on the brake hydraulic system.

you have too much brake fluid, it

can

spill

the

engine. The fluid

will

burn

the engine is hot

enough.

You

or others could be

burned,

and your

vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid

only

when work

done

the brake hydraulic system.

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to

check your brake fluid. See “Periodic Maintenance

Inspections” in the Index.
