2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several
times.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be between the MIN/MAX
or upper and lower lines. Do not add fluid if the level is in this range.

5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking
the level until it reaches the range between the MIN/MAX or upper and
lower lines. Be sure to put the cap back on the reservoir. Refer to
Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this chapter for
the proper fluid type.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID

Brake and clutch (if equipped) systems are supplied from the same
reservoir.
• 2.5L engine

• 3.0L/3.5L engines

The fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear, and will rise when the
brake components are replaced. Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add
fluid. If the fluid levels are outside of the normal operating range, the
performance of the system could be compromised; seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.
