collap sed .
WARN ING!
Worn brak e hoses can burst and cause brak e failu re.
You could have an accid ent. If you see any sign s of
crack ing, scuffin g, or worn spots, have the brak e
hoses rep laced immediately.
Insp ect all hose connections such as clamps and cou-
plings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are
present.
NOTE:
•
Often, fluid such as oil, power steering fluid, and
brake fluid are used during assem bly plant operations
to facilitate the assem bly of hoses to couplings. There-
fore, oil wetness at the hose-cou pling area is not
necessarily an ind ication of leakage. Actu al dripping
of hot fluid when system s are und er pressu re (during
vehicle operation), shou ld be noted before a hose is
rep laced based on leakage.
Master Cylin der - Brak e Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level in the master cylind er immediately
if the brake system warning light ind icates system fail-
ure.
Check the fluid level in the master cylind er when per-
form ing und erhood services.

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.
•
Insp ect the brake hoses whenever the brake system is
serviced and at every engine oil change. Insp ect hy-
drau lic brake hoses for surface cracking, scuffing, or
worn spots. If there is any evid ence of cracking,
scuffing, or worn spots, the hose shou ld be rep laced
immediately! Eventu al deterioration of the hose can
take place resu lting in a possibility of a burst failu re.
Overfilling of fluid is not recom mend ed becau se it may
cause leaking in the system .
