5.3 Brake Fluid
Under normal circumstances, your vehicle should not
use brake fluid. However, expect the level of the
brake fluid to slowly fall as you put more mileage on
your vehicle and the brake pads wear. Check the
brake fluid at least once a year. This is done by
looking at the fluid level in the plastic see-through
reservoir on the master cylinder. The fluid level
should be at or slightly below the maximum line. The
brake fluid reservoir (A) is located under the front
hood on the right side of the vehicle.
WARNING
:
If you use brake fluid that is not DOT-3
or DOT-4, you will cause permanent damage to your
brakes. Never reuse brake fluid that has been
drained from the system or that has been allowed to
stand in an open container for an extended period of
time.
WARNING:
Do not let the reservoir for the master cylinder run dry. This may cause the brakes to fail.
Adding Fluid
If the fluid is low:
1.
Carefully clean and remove the cap from the reservoir.
2.
Fill the reservoir to the maximum line with a DOT-3 or DOT-4 brake fluid.
WARNING:
Do not fill the reservoir above the maximum line.
5.4 Windshield Washer Fluid
The windshield washer fluid reservoir (A) is located under the
front hood of the vehicle on the right side. To add fluid,
remove the cap (B) and fill as necessary.
WARNING:
Windshield washer fluid is a poisonous and
hazardous substance. Read and follow all warnings and
instructions associated with the product you are using.
WARNING:
Do not use add any substances other than
windshield washer fluid to the reservoir. Other substances
could smear on the windshield or freeze, reducing visibility or
they could damage your vehicle.
WARNING:
Check that the freezing point of the windshield
washer fluid being used is adequate for the climate/season.
