HYDRAULIC FLUID
Brake fluid should meet DOT-3 specification. Use DOT-4 fluid for heavy duty applications such as trailer towing or mountain driving. Use only clean fluid from a sealed container. Fluid exposed to air will absorb moisture from air. Water in brake fluid will cause fluid to boil, and rubber components to deteriorate.
Thoroughly clean master cylinder reservoir cap before removing it. Do not let any dirt or foreign material fall into fluid reservoir.
There is a fluid level switch in master cylinder reservoir. When fluid level is low BRAKE lamp in instrument cluster will turn on. The correct brake fluid level is marked on driver 's side of master cylinder reservoir. If fluid level is below MIN indicator mark, check hydraulic brake system for leaks and then refill reservoir to MAX indicator mark.
FLUID LEVEL SENSOR
The master cylinder is equipped with a fluid level sensor. This sensor will activate BRAKE light if a low fluid level condition is detected. Once fluid level is corrected, BRAKE light will go out.
