Brakes/Clutch Fluid (cont'd) NOTE: Due to some driving habits or climates, brakes may "squeal" when you first apply them or when you have them partially applied; this is normal, and does not indicate excessive wear. The wear indicator makes a "screeching" sound while the brakes are applied. Brake Fluid Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir periodically; it should be between the MAX MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir. MIN If the level is near the MIN mark, add fluid to raise it to the MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use only brake fluid manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications (see reservoir cap) from a sealed container. Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can. NOTE: A low brake fluid level may be an indication of brake pad wear or of brake fluid leakage. You should have your brakes checked if the brake fluid reservoir is low before refilling it. CAUTION: The arrow on the reservoir cap must be pointing forward after the cap is installed. Make sure the brake warning switch wiring doesn't get caught between the cap and top edge of the reservoir. CLUTCH FLUID RESERVOIR Clutch Fluid Check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir periodically; it should be between the MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir. If the level is near the MIN mark, add fluid to raise it to the MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use only brake fluid manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications from a sealed container. Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can. NOTE: A low clutch fluid level may be an indication of clutch fluid leakage. You should have your clutch checked if the clutch fluid level in the reservoir is low.

Brakes/Clutch Fluid (cont'd)
NOTE: Due to some driving habits or climates, brakes may
"squeal" when you first apply them or when you have them
partially applied; this is normal, and does not indicate ex-
cessive wear. The wear indicator makes a "screeching" sound
while the brakes are applied.
Brake Fluid
Check the fluid level in the
brake reservoir periodically; it
should be between the MAX
and MIN marks on the reser-
voir.
If the level is near the MIN
mark, add fluid to raise it to the
MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use
only brake fluid manufactured
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications (see reservoir cap) from a
sealed
container.
Follow
the
manufacturer's
instructions
printed on the can.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level may be an indication of brake
pad wear or of brake fluid leakage. You should have your
brakes checked if the brake fluid reservoir is low before re-
filling it.
CAUTION: The arrow on the reservoir cap must be pointing
forward after the cap is installed. Make sure the brake warning
switch wiring doesn't get caught between the cap and top
edge of the reservoir.
Clutch Fluid
Check the fluid level in the
clutch reservoir periodically; it
should be between the MAX
and MIN marks on the reser-
voir.
If the level is near the MIN
mark, add fluid to raise it to the
MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use
only brake fluid manufactured
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications from a sealed container.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can.
NOTE: A low clutch fluid level may be an indication of clutch
fluid leakage. You should have your clutch checked if the
clutch fluid level in the reservoir is low.
