Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result a harmful
chemical reaction and lead to poor
braking performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.
Have a dealer inspect the brake system if
the brake fluid level goes down.
Brake Fluid Replacement
Complete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained service personnel. Have a
dealer replace the following components
during periodic maintenance or when they
are damaged or leaking.
Replace the oil seals every two years.
Replace the brake hoses every four
years.
Checking the Brake Pedal
Have a dealer check the brakes at the
intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. There
should be no free play in the brake pedal.
The brakes should operate smoothly and
there should be no brake drag. If the
brakes feel soft or spongy, this could indicate
air in the brake system. Have a dealer
check the brake system if necessary.
