BRAKE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL INSPECTION
Always check the brake pedal travel and inspect the
brake fluid reservoir level before each operation. If the
fluid level is low, add DOT 4 brake fluid only.
Brake fluid should be changed every two years. The fluid
should also be changed anytime the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum level,
or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir is
unknown.
The brake master cylinder reservoir
q
can be accessed
through the front left wheel well.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the gear selector in Park.
3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level
should be between the MAX and MIN level lines.
4. If the fluid level is lower than the MIN level line, add
brake fluid until it reaches just below the MAX level
line.
5. Install the reservoir cap and apply the brake pedal
forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the master cylinder fittings and the
brake caliper fittings.
