1994 CHEVROLET CAVALIER washer fluid

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Service & Appearance Care
NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer
fluid, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-
use washer fluid. Water can cause
the solution to freeze and damage
your washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean as well
as
washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only %
full when it’s very cold. This
allows for expansion, which could
damage the tank if it is
completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in
your windshield washer. It can
damage your washer system and
paint.
I Brakes
Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is
filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
There are only two reasons why the
brake fluid level in your master cylinder
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 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.
What to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid
- such as Delco
Supreme
11@ (GM Part No.1052535).
