104 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT WARNING Never reuse old brake fluid. Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has been open for a long time. Do not mix two types and brands of fluid for use in the brakes. This lowers the brake fluid boiling point and could reduce brake effectiveness. It may also cause the rubber brake parts to deteriorate. Don't leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time, to avoid moisture contamination of the fluid.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
WARNING
Never reuse old brake fluid.
Do not use fluid from a container that has
been left unsealed or that has been open for
a long time.
Do not mix two types and brands of fluid for
use in the brakes. This lowers the brake fluid
boiling point and could reduce brake effec-
tiveness. It may also cause the rubber brake
parts to deteriorate.
Don’t leave the reservoir cap off for any
length of time, to avoid moisture contam-
ination of the fluid.
Don’t add or change
brake fluid in the rain or during conditions
of blowing dust or debris.
CAUTION
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces.
Wipe up any spilled fluid immediately.
Fluid Level Inspection
With the vehicle on level ground, check that,
through the inspection hole in the dashboard, the
fluid level in the reservoir is between the upper
(marked MAX) and lower (marked MIN) level
lines.
A. Inspection Hole
If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line,
check for fluid leaks in the brake lines, and open
the front cargo hood (see “Front Cargo Compart-
ment” section in the “General Information” chap-
ter) and fill the reservoir to the upper level line.
Remove the rubber cover.
