to
Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake
fluid. Refer to
Part
D:
Recommended
Fluids
and
Lubricants
on
page
6-23.
Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before removing
it.
This will help
keep dirt from enterir he reservoir.

With
the wrong kind of fluid
in
your brake
system, your brakes may not work well, or they
may not even work at all. This could cause a
crash. Always
use
the proper brake fluid.
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage brake
system parts. For example, just a few drops of
mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil,
in
your
brake system can damage brake system
parts
so
badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
Don’t let someone
put
in
the wrong kind of fluid.

If you spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s painted
surfaces, the paint finish can be damaged.
Be careful not to spill brake fluid on your
vehicle. If you do, wash
it
off
immediately.

the Index.
