The windshield washer fluid reservoir is under the hood. Check the washer fluid level at regular inter-vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec- essary. Open the reservoir cap and check the fluidlevel. When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the reservoir by operating the pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti-freeze (not radiator
antifreeze), and operate
the system for a few se
conds to flush out the
residual water.
N00938700261
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The brake fluid level fa
lls slightly with wear
of the brake pads, but
this does not indicate
any abnormality. The brake fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under the hood. The brake system should also bechecked for leaks at the same time. If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates a leak in thebrake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by a certified i-MiEV dealer. Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir capmust be tightly sealed
to keep dirt and water
out.

The condition of the 12V starter battery is very important to keep the vehicle’s electricalsystem working properly. Check the 12V starter battery regularly.

CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals. Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid have different addi-tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir ta
