~~ United States Canada When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light will come on. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-28. r Notice: With the wrong kind of fluid in your brake system, your brakes may not work or they well, may not even work all. This could cause a at crash. Alwaysuse the proper brake fluid. What to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid. Use new brake fluid from a sealed container only. See Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6- 15. Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area around the cap before removing it. This will help keep dirt from entering the reservoir. Using the wrong fluid can badly damage brake system parts. For example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, suchas engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system parts so badly that they'll have to be replaced. Don't let someone put in the wrong kind fluid. of If you spill brake fluid on your vehicle's painted surfaces, the paint finish can be damaged. Be careful not to spill brake fluid on your vehicle. If you do, wash it off immediately. See "Appearance Care" in the Index. 5-50
