WARNING! (Continued)

To avoid contamination from foreign matter or

moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that
has been in a tightly closed container. Keep the
master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times.
Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture
from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
This may cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard
or prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake
failure. This could result in a collision.

Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in

spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts, causing
the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake fluid can also
damage painted and vinyl surfaces, care should be
taken to avoid its contact with these surfaces.

WARNING! (Continued)

Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contami-

nate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could
be damaged, causing partial or complete brake
failure. This could result in a collision.

Clutch Hydraulic System – Manual Transmission
(If Equipped)
The clutch hydraulic system is fed by a segregated

volume of fluid within the brake system master cylinder

reservoir. In the event of leakage or wear, use only the

manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Refer to “Flu-

ids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for further information.
