Brake Fluid Level Check
The fluid level in the master cylind er shou ld be checked
when perform ing und erhood services, or immediately if
the brake system warning light ind icates system failu re.
Use of a brak e flu id that has a low er initial boilin g
poin t than the recom mended MOPAR DOT 3
prod uct or a brak e flu id that is unidentified as to
FMVSS specification may resu lt in sudden brak e 7
failu re durin g hard prolon ged brak ing. You could
have an accid ent.
Clean the top of the master cylind er area before rem oving
the cap. Add fluid to bring the level up to the top of the
“FULL” mark on the side of the master cylind er reservoir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recom mend ed becau se it may
cause leaking in the system .
Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed
container to avoid contam ination from foreign matter or
moistu re.
Add enou gh fluid to bring the level up to the requ ire-
ments 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 checku p may be need ed.
