The windshield washer fluid reservoir is
under the hood.
Check the washer fluid level at regular inter-
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-
essary.
Open the reservoir cap and check the fluid
level.
When freezing weather is anticipated, flush
out the water in the reservoir by operating the
pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti-
freeze (not radiator antifreeze), and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual water.

The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level falls slightly with wear
of the brake pads, but this does not indicate
any abnormality.
The brake fluid in the master cylinder should
be checked when doing other work under the
hood. The brake system should also be
checked for leaks at the same time.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a
short length of time, it indicates a leak in the
brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by a
certified i-MiEV dealer.
Use the recommended brake fluid conform-
ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir cap
must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water
out.

CAUTION
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This
will damage the seals.
Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can
damage painted surfaces.
Use only the listed brake fluid. Different
brands of brake fluid have different addi-
tives, and these can cause a chemical reac-
tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid.
Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to keep
the brake fluid from evaporating.
