MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Insp ect all hose clamps and couplings to make sure they
are secure and no leaks are present.
Master Cylin der
The fluid level in the master cylind er shou ld be checked
when perform ing und er hood services, or immediately if
the brake system warning lamp show s system failu re.
Insu re nylon tubing in these areas has not melted or
collap sed .
NOTE: Often, fluids such as oil, power steering fluid,
and brake fluid are used during assem bly plant opera-
tions to ease the assem bly of hoses to couplings. There-
fore, oil wetness at the hose-cou pling area is not neces-
sarily 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 hose is rep laced based
on leakage.
NOTE: Insp ection of brake hoses shou ld be done
whenever the brake system is serviced and every engine
oil change.
Be sure to clean the top of the master cylind er area before
rem oving the cap. If necessary, fill brake fluid reservoir to
the top of the fill mark chevron. 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.
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.
