When your brake fluid falls
to
a low level, your brake
warning light will come on. See
Brake System Warning
Light on page
3-28.
What
to
Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3
brake
fluid. Use new brake fluid from a sealed container
only. See
Part
D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page
6-
15.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before removing it.
This
will help
keep dirt from entering the reservoir.

._h the wrong kinc~ luid in you1 re
system, your brakes may not work well, or
they may not even work at all.
This
could
cause a crash. Always use the proper
brake fluid.
Notice:
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage brake
system parts. For example, just a few drops
of
mineral-based oil, such as engine oil,
in
your
brake system can damage brake system
parts
so
badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
Don’t let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid.
If you spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s painted
surfaces, the paint finish can be damaged. Be
careful not to spill brake fluid on your vehicle. If
you do, wash
it
off
immediately. See
“Appearance Care’’ in the Index.
