WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire
if you park over material that can burn.
Such materials, such as grass or leaves
coming into contact with your exhaust
system could start a fire. Do not park
or operate your vehicle in areas where
your exhaust system can contact any-
thing that can burn.
Brake Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level in the master cyl-
inder whenever performing under-
hood services. The fluid level should
be between the ⬙MIN⬙ and ⬙MAX⬙ indi-
cator on the reservoir. If necessary,
add fluid to the reservoir to raise the
fluid to the proper level.
Adding Brake Fluid
• Check the fluid level in the master
cylinder immediately if the brake sys-

failure.
• Overfilling fluid is not recommended
because it may cause leaking in the
system.
• Use only brake fluid that has been
stored in a tightly closed container
to avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture.
• Only use brake fluid that meets Chery
specifications. Refer to ⬙Fluids and
Capacities⬙ in this chapter for the
brake fluid capacity and type.
CAUTION!
Do not allow petroleum based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid, brake
seal components could be damaged
causing partial or complete brake fail-
ure.
WARNING!
Never allow brake fluid to contact your
skin or eyes. If brake fluid splashes in
your eyes, or on your skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts
of water and seek medical treatment
immediately.
Coolant Level Check
WARNING!
Never add coolant when the engine is
overheated. Do not loosen or remove
the cap to cool an overheated engine.
Heat causes pressure to build up in the
cooling system. Therefore, to prevent
scalding or injury, do not remove the
cap while the system is hot or under
pressure.
The coolant bottle provides a quick vi-

coolant level is adequate. With the en-
