Brake Fluid

The brake master cylinder reservoir

is filled with DOT 3 brake fluid as

indicated on the reservoir cap. See

Engine Compartment Overview

on

page 9‑6

for the location of the

reservoir.

There are only two reasons why the

brake fluid level in the reservoir

might go down:

.

The brake fluid level goes down

because of normal brake lining

wear. When new linings are

installed, the fluid level goes

back up.

.

A fluid leak in the brake

hydraulic system can also

cause a low fluid level. Have the

brake hydraulic system fixed,

since a leak means that sooner

or later the brakes will not

work well.

Do not top off the brake fluid.

Adding fluid does not correct a leak.

If fluid is added when the linings are

worn, there will be too much fluid

when new brake linings are

installed. Add or remove brake fluid,

as necessary, only when work is

done on the brake hydraulic system.

{

WARNING

If too much brake fluid is added, it

can spill on the engine and burn,

if the engine is hot enough. You

or others could be burned, and

the vehicle could be damaged.

Add brake fluid only when work is

done on the brake hydraulic

system.

When the brake fluid falls to a low

level, the brake warning light comes

on. See Brake System Warning

Light on page 4‑21.
