MASTER CYLINDER
The master cylinder is located under the passenger bucket seat toward the center of the vehicle (Figure 16).
Raise or remove the seat to check the brake fluid level.
When checking the brake fluid, also inspect the following:
• The presence of brake fluid on the exterior surface of the master cylinder indicates a leak.
• The vent holes in the reservoir cover should be clean and open.
• The reservoir diaphragm should not have holes or other damage.
BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid level should be within 1/4-inch (6 mm) from top of reservoir (Figure 16). Also, brake fluid should
be clean with no residue in bottom of reservoir or other evidence of contamination.
ý CAUTION
• Use only DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid. Use of any other type brake fluid is not recommended.
ENGINE OIL
Even though the low oil warning light on the dash should illuminate if oil becomes low, the engine oil level
should be checked monthly. The vehicle should be on a level surface when checking oil. Do not overfill with
oil.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the oil level dipstick from the oil filler tube and wipe oil from stick. See Figure 17. See following
CAUTION.
ý CAUTION
• Do not remove dipstick while engine is running.
2. Check oil by fully inserting the dipstick into the oil filler tube and immediately removing it.
3. If the oil level is at or below the low level mark on the dipstick gauge, add oil until the level is between
low and full levels (safe level).
