NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
0
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also,
water
doesn’t clean
as
well
as
washer fluid.
0
Fill your washer fluid tank only
314
full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.
0
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Brakes
Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here.
It
is filled
with
DOT-3
brake fluid.
~~
There are
only
two
reasons why the brake fluid level
in
your master cylinder
might go down. The first
is
that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable
level
during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, the
fluid level goes back
up.
The other reason is that fluid is leaking out of the
brake system.
If
it
is,
you
should have your brake system fixed, since
a
leak
means that sooner or later your brakes won’t work well, or won’t work at
all. So, it isn’t
a
good
idea to “top
off’
your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid
won’t correct a leak.
If
you add fluid when your linings are worn, then
you’ll have
too
much fluid when
you
get new brake linings.
You
should add
(or remove) brake fluid,
as
necessary, only when work
is
done on the brake
hydraulic system.
