CAUTION:

If you have too much brake fluid, it can
spill on the engine. The fluid will burn if
the engine is hot enough. You or others
could be burned, and your vehicle could
be damaged. Add brake fluid only when
work is done on the brake hydraulic
system. See “Checking Brake Fluid” in
this section.

When the brake fluid falls to a low level, the brake
warning light will come on. See Brake System
Warning Light
on page 249.

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to check your brake fluid. See Scheduled
Maintenance
on page 579.

Checking Brake Fluid

You can check the brake fluid without taking off
the cap.

Look at the brake fluid
reservoir. The fluid level
should be above
MIN. If it is not, have
your brake system
checked to see if there
is a leak.

After work is done on the brake hydraulic system,
make sure the level is above the MIN but not
over the MAX mark.
