When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake
warning light will come on. See

Brake System Warning

Light on page 3-27.

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 6-16.

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.

{

CAUTION:

With the wrong kind of fluid in your brake
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.
