Brakes
Brake Fluid
If your vehicle has
hydraulic brakes, there is a
brake master cylinder in
the engine compartment
on the driver side of
the vehicle. Refer to the
Maintenance Schedule to
determine when to
check your brake fluid.
{CAUTION:
Do not add brake uid before you check the
level. If you do, you could get too much brake
uid. Brake uid could spill on the hot engine
and it can catch re. You could be burned and
your vehicle could be damaged. See “Checking
Brake Fluid” in this section.
Checking Brake Fluid
Apply the brake pedal several times with the ignition off.
Then clean one of the reservoir caps and the area
around the cap, and remove it.
The fluid level should be
even with the bottom ring
of the filler opening.
The brake fluid reservoir is
located in the engine
compartment on the driver
side of the vehicle.
If it is low, add enough fluid to fill the reservoir to the
proper level.

2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles are not touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You would not be able
to start your vehicle, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set the
parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in the
jump start procedure. Put an automatic transmission
in PARK (P) or a manual transmission in NEUTRAL
before setting the parking brake. If you have a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the transfer case is
in a drive gear, not in NEUTRAL.
Notice:If you leave your radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could
be damaged. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Always turn off your radio and
other accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlets. Turn off the
radio and all lamps that are not needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries, and
it could save the radio!4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate the
positive (+) and the negative (−) terminal locations
on that vehicle.
Open the hood on your
vehicle and find the remote
positive (+) terminal,
located under a red plastic
cover on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle.
Squeeze the tab to open
the cover and access
the remote positive (+)
terminal.
You will not see the battery (or batteries) of your
vehicle under the hood. They are located in a frame
mounted battery box, which is located on either
the driver’s or the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery (or
batteries) for jump starting. The remote positive (+)
terminal is for that purpose.
