Brake Fluid Reservoir
The brake fluid reservoir (1) is located under the hood
(Figure 20)
. Raise the hood to check the brake fluid level.
During the brake fluid level inspection, also inspect the following:
• The presence of brake fluid on the exterior surface of the master cylinder indicates a leak.
• The brake fluid reservoir diaphragm (located in the cap) should not have holes or other damage.
BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid level should be within 1/4-inch (6 mm) from the top of the reservoir
(Figure 21)
. Also, brake fluid should be
clean with no residue in the bottom of the reservoir or other evidence of contamination.
CAUTION
• Use only DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid. Use of any other type brake fluid is not recommended.
