The brake fluid reservoir is located under the
hood. (See pages 8-17–8-19 for hood opening
and closing procedures.)
Observe these precautions:

When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.


Use only the recommended quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance.


Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction
and lead to poor braking performance.


Be careful that water does not enter the brake
fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
