Insure nylon tubing in these areas has not melted or
collapsed.

Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou-
plings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are
present.

Components should be replaced immediately if there is
any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.

Brake System

Power Disc Brakes (Front and Rear)
Disc brakes do not require adjustment; however, several
hard stops during the break-in period are recommended
to seat the linings and wear off any foreign material.

Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level of the master cylinder should be checked
when performing under the hood service, or immedi-
ately if the brake system warning lamp indicates system
failure.

The brake master cylinder has a translucent plastic
reservoir. On the outboard side of the reservoir, there is a
“FULL” dot and an “ADD” dot. The fluid level must be
kept within these two dots. Do not add fluid above the
full mark because leakage may occur at the cap.
