Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Checking and Filling

The brake fluid level should be at or near the MAX mark.

 WARNING: BRAKE FLUID CONTAINS POLYGLYCOL ETHERS AND POLYGLYCOLS. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. IF BRAKE FLUID CONTACTS EYES, FLUSH EYES WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. IF TAKEN INTERNALLY, DRINK WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

  1. Carefully clean and remove the cap from the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478).

  1.  WARNING: IF YOU USE A BRAKE FLUID THAT IS NOT DOT 3, YOU WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

     CAUTION: If brake fluid is spilled on painted surfaces, it must be flushed and wiped away immediately. Brake fluid may dissolve the paint finish on the vehicle.

    NOTE: Do not fill the brake master cylinder reservoir above the MAX line.
