MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 367 pads wear. Brake fluid level should be checked when pads are replaced. If the brake fluid level is abnormally low, check system for leaks. Refer to "Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts" in this section for the correct fluid type. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. CAUTION! Do not allow a petroleum-base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage may result. Automatic Transmission Fluid Level Check Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks are not required. For this reason the dipstick is omitted. If you notice fluid loss or gear shift malfunction, have your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level. WARNING! • Use of brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point, or is unidentified as to specifications may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. You could have an accident. • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching on fire. 7
