Brake fluid
E01000900401
To check the fluid levelThe brake fluid level is monito
red by a float. When the brake
fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up. The brake fluid level must be
between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is below the “MIN
” mark, check according to the
following procedure:1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position. 2. Repeatedly depress the brake
pedal until significant resist-
ance is felt (normally after about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks fr
om the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend yo
u to have the vehicle checked.

Fluid typeUse brake fluid conforming to
DOT3 or DOT4 from a sealed
container. The brake fluid is
hygroscopic. Too much moisture
in the brake fluid will adversely
affect the brake system, reduc-
ing the brake performance.
Clutch fluid
*
E01001000193
To check the fluid levelThe clutch fluid in the master cylinder should be checked whenperforming other underhood service. In addition, the system should be checked for leakage at the same time.Check to ensure that the clutch
fluid level is always between
the “MAX” and “MIN” level mark
ings on the fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
!●
Take care in handling brake fluid as it is harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin and also damage painted surfaces.
●
Use only the specified brake fluid. Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals.
●
Keep the reservoir tank ca
p closed to prevent the
brake fluid from deteriorating except maintenance.
●
Clean the filler cap before
removing and close the
cap securely after maintenance.
