192 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE fluid level up to the requirements described on the brake fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear. However, low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed. Use only the manufacturer's recommended brake fluid. Refer to the Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts section for the correct fluid type. Mopar Brake Fluid is fluid of this quality and is recommended to provide best brake performance. Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point or unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter. Hydraulic Clutch The fluid in the clutch master cylinder should be checked when performing other under hood services. To check the fluid level, remove the reservoir cap. If necessary, add fluid to the reservoir. Use only the manufacturer's recommended brake fluid. Refer to the Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts section for the correct fluid type. Mopar brake fluid is fluid of this quality and is recommended to provide best brake performance. Make sure that the fluid has been stored in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination with dirt or moisture. Do Not Overfill. Overfilling can cause clutch release problems as the clutch wears. A low fluid level may indicate a leak, in which case, hydraulic clutch linkage replacement may be required. The fluid level in the reservoir will rise as the clutch wears - Do Not Remove Fluid. Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid - seal damage will result.
