When to Check and What
to Use
The brake/hydraulic clutch fluid
reservoir cap has this symbol on it.
The common hydraulic clutch and
brake master cylinder fluid reservoir
is filled with either DOT 3 or DOT 4
brake fluid as indicated on the
reservoir cap. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 106 for reservoir location.
How to Check and Add Fluid
Visually check the brake/clutch fluid
reservoir to make sure the fluid level
is at the MIN (minimum) line on the
side of the reservoir. The brake/
hydraulic clutch fluid system should
be closed and sealed.
Do not remove the cap to check the
fluid level or to topoff the fluid level.
Remove the cap only when
necessary to add the proper fluid
until the level reaches the MIN line.
