Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the require-
ments described on the brake fluid reservoir. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake
pads wear. However, low fluid level may be caused by a
leak and a checkup may be needed.

Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Re-
fer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” for the
correct fluid type.

WARNING!

Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in

spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the
brake fluid catching fire.

Use of a brake fluid that has a lower initial boiling

point than the recommended MOPAR

DOT 3

product or a brake fluid that is unidentified as to
FMVSS specification may result in sudden brake

container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or
moisture.

CAUTION!

Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid, all brake seal components could be
damaged causing partial or complete brake failure.

Fluid Level Check
Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks are not
required. For this reason, the dipstick is omitted.

If you notice fluid loss or gear shift malfunction, have
your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level.
