(diesel vehicle shown)

The brake fluid reservoir (1) is located under the hood (Figure 16). Raise the hood to check the brake fluid level.

During the brake fluid level inspection, also inspect the following:

•The presence of brake fluid on the exterior surface of the master cylinder indicates a leak.

•The brake fluid reservoir diaphragm (located in the cap) should not have holes or other damage.

BRAKE FLUID

Brake fluid level should be within 1/4-inch (6 mm) from the top of the reservoir (Figure 17). Also, brake fluid should be clean with no residue in the bottom of the reservoir or other evidence of contamination.

ýCAUT ION

•Use only DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid. Use of any other type brake fluid is not recommended.

ENGINE OIL

Even though the low oil 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 overfill the engine with oil.

OIL PRESSURE – GASOLINE ENGINE

Honda engine: The Honda gasoline engine has an oil filter that is mounted on a bracket next to the back side of the front panel. Inlet and outlet oil-carrying hoses enable oil circulation to and from the engine. See follow- ing NOTE.
