NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t
mix
water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution
to
freeze and damage your washer
fluid
tank and other parts
of
the washer system. Also, water
doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill
your washer fluid tank only
3/4
full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it
is
completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Brakes
Brake Master
Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder
is
here.
It
is filled with
DOT-3
brake fluid.
There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level
in
your master cylinder
might go down. The first is that
the
brake fluid goes down to an acceptable
level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are
put
in,
the
fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is leaking
out
of
the
brake system.
If
it is, you
should
have
your
brake system fixed,
since
a
leak
means that sooner
or
later your brakes won’t work well, or won’t work at
all.
So,
it isn’t
a
good idea to “top
off’
your brake
fluid.
Adding brake fluid
won’t correct
a
leak,
If
you
add fluid when your linings are worn, then
you’ll have
too
much fluid when you get new brake linings. You should
add
