WARNING! (Continued)

Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contami-

nate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could
be damaged, causing partial or complete brake
failure. This could result in a collision.

Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed

container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or

moisture.

Clutch Hydraulic System (Manual Transmission) –
If Equipped
The clutch hydraulic system is fed by a segregated

volume of fluid within the brake system master cylinder

reservoir. In the event of leakage or wear, use only the

manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Refer to “Flu-

ids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for further information.

ine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further

information.
