Auxiliary battery
Maintenance 10-9

If the fluid level falls markedly in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake
fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in
the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the performance.

The condition of the auxiliary battery is very
important for quick starting of the Hybrid EV
System and proper functioning of the vehi-
cle’s electrical system. Regular inspection
and care are especially important in cold
weather.

WARNING
 Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and will damage painted surfaces. Wipe
up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets
on your hands or in your eyes, flush imme-
diately with clean water. Follow up with a
doctor as necessary.
CAUTION
 Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brand of brake
fluid to prevent chemical reaction.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
 Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to prevent
the brake fluid from deteriorating except
maintenance.
 Make sure that the projection on the filler
cap is pointing rearward as shown in the
illustration when the cap is closed.
*: Front of the vehicle
