430 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. • Use of a brake fluid that has a lower initial boiling point than the recommended product or a brake fluid that is unidentified as to FMVSS specification may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. You could have an accident. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. Automatic Transmission Fluid Level Check Your vehicle is equipped with a capped transmission oil fill tube that is sealed and it should not be tampered with. Your authorized dealer has the proper tools to ensure that the fluid level is set properly. CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer's recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder. Using a transmission fluid other than that recommended by the manufacturer will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to "Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts" in this section for the correct fluid type. CAUTION! Do not allow petroleum-base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage may result.
