Brakes
Brake
Fluid
Your brake master cylinder
reservoir is here.
It
is filled
with
DOT-3
brake fluid.
There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in
the reservoir might go down. The first
is
that the brake
fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal
brake lining wear. When new linings
are
put in, the fluid
level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out
of
the brake system. If it is, you should have
your brake system fixed, since a leak means that sooner
or later your brakes won’t work well, or won’t work
at all.
So,
it isn’t
a
good idea to “top
off’
your brake fluid.
Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid
when your linings are worn, then you’ll have
too much
fluid when
you
get new brake linings. You should add
(or
remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is
done on
the
b:
*
‘lyd
;
system.
..
A
CAUTION:
have too much brake fluid,
it
can spill
on the engine. The fluid will burn if the engine
is hot enough. You or others could be burned,
and your vehicle could be damaged. Add brake
fluid only when work is done on the brake
hydraulic system.
When your brake fluid falls
to
a low level, your brake
warning light will come on. See “Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index.
