Checking brake fluid
PS72501
Before checking or adding the brake
fluid, remove the cover. (See “(c) Jump
starting” on page 223 in Section 4.)
To check the fluid level, simply look at
the see through reservoir. The level
should be between the “MAX” and
“MIN” lines on the reservoir.
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go
down slightly as the brake pads wear. So
be sure to keep the reservoir filled.
If the reservoir needs frequent refi

may indicate a serious mechanical prob-

If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or
FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the
brake reservoir.
