NOTICE:
D When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
adding water.
D Don’t mix water with ready

to
-
use washer
fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze
and damage your washer fluid tank and
other parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
D Fill your washer fluid tank only
three
-
quarters full when it’s very cold. This
allows for expansion if freezing occurs,
which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.

your windshield washer. It can damage
your washer system and paint.
Brakes
Brake Fluid
Your brake master cylinder
reservoir is located in the
rear of the engine
compartment on the driver’s
side of the vehicle.
Your brake master cylinder reservoir is filled with
DOT
-
3 brake fluid. See “Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index for the location of the reservoir.
There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in 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 is that fluid is leaking out
of the brake system. If 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.
