Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling
WARNING:
Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Warning .
CAUTION:
Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution .
- Visually inspect the brake fluid level through the brake master cylinder reservoir.
- If the brake fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine fluid checks, the brake system should be inspected for wear and possible brake fluid leaks.
- If the brake fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine fluid checks, and an inspection of the brake system did not reveal wear or brake fluid leaks, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the maximum-fill level.
- If brake system service was just completed, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the maximum-fill level.
- If the brake fluid level is above the half-full point, adding brake fluid is not recommended under normal conditions.
- If brake fluid is to be added to the master cylinder reservoir, clean the outside of the reservoir on and around the reservoir cap prior to removing the cap and diaphragm.
- Use only GM approved brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container to SLOWLY fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to avoid spillage due to overfilling.
