Checking Brake Fluid Level

Avoid contamination of the brake fluid. Thoroughly clean area around the filler cap before removing. Do not open the brake fluid reservoir cap unless absolutely necessary.

Use extreme care when filling the reservoir. Fluid spilled on painted surfaces can cause damage.

Use only brake fluid from a sealed container.

1. Park vehicle safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2. Open hood.

3. Do not overfill reservoir. If you do overfill, leakage can occur.

   Visually check brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid level must be between “MIN” (A) and “MAX” (B) marks. If fluid is low:
   • Carefully clean area around reservoir cap (C).
   • Remove reservoir cap and add fluid to the “MAX” mark.
