MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 473 With disc brakes the fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake linings wear. However, an unexpected drop in fluid level may be caused by a leak and a system check should be conducted. For correct fluid type, refer to "Brake Master Cylinder" under "Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts" in this section. WARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly-closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. WARNING! Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point, or is unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. You could have an accident. CAUTION! Do not allow a petroleum-base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage may result. 7
