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

Master Cylinder — Brake Fluid Level Check
The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked

when performing underhood services, or immediately if

the “Brake System Warning Light” indicates system

failure.
Clean the top of the master cylinder area before removing

the cap. Add fluid to bring the level up to the top of the

“FULL” mark on the side of the master cylinder reservoir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may

cause leaking in the system.
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” in “Main-

taining 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.
