What
to
Add
Notice:
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3
brake
fluid. Use new brake fluid from a sealed container
only. See
Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on
page
6-
15.
Always
clean
the brake fluid resewsir cap and the area
around the cap before removing
it.
This will help
keep dirt from entering
!
reservoir.
hltn
tne 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. See
“Appearance Care”
in
the Index.
