216
Brake
Master
Cylinder
Your brake
master
cylinder
is
here.
It
is
filled
with
DOT-3
brake
fluid.
Your
vehicle
is
equipped
with
either
Standard Power
Brakes
or
the Anti-
Lock
Brake
System.
There
are
only
two
reasons
why
the
brake
fluid
level
in
your
master
cylinder
might
go down.
The
first
is
that
the
brake
fluid
goes
down
to an acceptable
level
during
normal
brake
lining
wear.
When new
linings are
Dut
in, the fluid
level
goes
back
up.
The
other
reason
is
that fluid
is
leaking
out of the brake
system. If it
is,
you
should
have
your
brake
system
fixed,
since
a
leak
means
that
sooner
or
later
your
brakes
won’t
work
well,
or
won’t
work at all.
So,
it isn’t
a good
idea to “top
off”
your
brake
fluid.
Adding
brake
fluid
won’t
correct
a
leak.
If you add
fluid
when
your
linings are worn, then you’ll
have
too much
fluid
when
you
get
new
brake
linings. You should
add
(or
remove)
brake
fluid, as necessary,
only
when
work
is
done
on
the brake
hydraulic
system.
