WARNING!

(Continued)

high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. You would not have your full
braking capacity in an emergency.

Power Disc Brakes
Disc brakes do not require adjustment; however, several

hard stops during the break-in period are recommended

to seat the linings and wear off any foreign material.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level in the master cylinders should be checked

whenever the vehicle is serviced. If necessary, add fluid

to bring level to the full level mark on the side of the

reservoir of the brake master cylinder. With disc brakes,

fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear.

If the brake fluid level is abnormally low, check system

for leaks.

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in

“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.

WARNING!

Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake

fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further
information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid
can severely damage your brake system and/or
impair its performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on the
original factory installed hydraulic master cylinder
reservoir.
