GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Brake fluid should meet the DOT–3 specification. Use
DOT–4 fluid for heavy duty applications such as trailer
towing or mountain driving. Use only clean fluid from a
sealed container. Fluid exposed to air will absorb moisture
from the air. Water in the brake fluid will cause the fluid to
boil, and the rubber components to deteriorate.
Thoroughly cleanthemaster cylinder reservoir capbefore
removing it. Do not let any dirt or foreignmaterial fall into
thefluidreservoir.
There is a fluid level switch in the master cylinder reservoir.
When the fluid level is low, the BRAKE lamp in the instru-
ment cluster will turn on. The correct brake fluid level is
marked on the driver’s side of the master cylinder reser-
voir. If the fluid level is below the MIN indicator mark, check
the hydraulic brake system for leaks and then refill the res-
ervoir to the MAX indicator mark.
