Pontiac 2010 Vibe - Manual (Page 212)

What to Add
Use only new DOT-3 brake
fluid from a sealed container.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 10-15.
Always clean the brake fluid
reservoir cap and the area around
the cap before removing it. This
helps keep dirt from entering the
reservoir.
{ CAUTION
With the wrong kind of fluid in the
brake or clutch hydraulic system,
the brakes or clutch might not
work well. This could cause a
crash. Always use the proper
brake fluid.
Notice:
• Using the wrong fluid can
badly damage brake or clutch
hydraulic system parts.
For example, just a few drops
of mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in the brake or clutch
hydraulic system can damage
brake or clutch hydraulic
system parts so badly that they
will have to be replaced. Do not
let someone put in the wrong
kind of fluid.
• If brake fluid is spilled on the
vehicle’s painted surfaces, the
paint finish can be damaged.
Be careful not to spill brake
fluid on the vehicle. If you do,
wash it off immediately.

free battery. When it is time for a
