Warning
If too much brake fluid is added, it
can spill on the engine and burn,
if the engine is hot enough. You or
others could be burned, and the
vehicle could be damaged. Add
brake fluid only when work is done
on the brake hydraulic system.
When the brake fluid falls to a low
level, the brake warning light comes
on. See Brake System Warning Light
0 135.
Brake fluid absorbs water over time
which degrades the effectiveness of
the brake f luid. Replace brake fluid at
the specified inter vals to prevent
increased stopping distance. See
Maintenance Schedule 0 330.
What to Add
Use only GM approved DOT 3 brake
fluid from a clean, sealed container.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0 339.
