4A-2 HYDRAULIC BRAKES
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Brake fluid should meet the DOT 4 specification. Use
only clear fluid from a sealed container.
Fluid that is exposed to the air will absorb moisture.
Water in the brake fluid will cause the fluid to boil and
the rubber components to deteriorate.
Thoroughly clean the master cylinder reservoir cap be-
fore removing it. Do not let any dirt or foreign material
fall into the fluid reservoir.
There is a brake fluid level switch under the master
cylinder reservoir.
When the fluid level is low, the BRAKE lamp in the
instrument cluster will turn on.
The correct brake fluid level is marked on the both
side of the brake fluid reservoir. If the fluid level is
below the MIN indicator mark, check the hydraulic brake
system for leaks. Fix any leaks. Then refill the reservoir
to the MAX indicator mark.
The hydraulic brake system is parallel split on Antilock
Brake Systems. This means the left front and left rear
brakes are on one hydraulic circuit and the right front
and right rear are on the other.
