Engine Oil
The brake uid reservoir (5) is located under the hood and under the round access panel (Figure 13). Raise the hood
and remove the round access panel to check the brake uid level.
During the brake uid level inspection, also inspect the following:
• The presence of brake uid on the exterior surface of the master cylinder indicates a leak.
• The brake uid reservoir diaphragm (located in the cap) should not have holes or other damage.
BRAKE FLUID
Brake uid level should be within 1/4-inch (6 mm) from the top of the reservoir (Figure 14). Also, brake uid should be
clean with no residue in the bottom of the reservoir or other evidence of contamination.
CAUTION
• Use only DOT 5 (silicone) brake uid. Use of any other type brake uid is not recommended.
ENGINE OIL
Even though the low oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel should illuminate if the oil level becomes low,
the engine oil level should be checked daily. The vehicle should be on a level surface when the oil is checked.
Do not overll the engine with oil.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the oil level dipstick from the oil ller tube and wipe oil from the dipstick (Figure 15). See following
CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not remove dipstick while engine is running.
2. Check oil level by fully inserting the dipstick into the tube and immediately removing it.
3. If the oil level is at or below the low level mark on the dipstick gauge, add oil to the engine until the level is
between low and full levels (safe level). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed recommended oil capacity. Doing so will decrease engine performance or result in
damage to the engine.
