Brakes and Traction Control: Service and Repair

Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir a minimum of twice a year.

The brake fluid reservoir is marked on both sides with a MAX fill line for the brake fluid level. Proper fill level of the fluid reservoir is to the center of the MAX fill line on reservoir.

If necessary, add brake fluid so the level is at the center of the Max fluid level mark on the side of the master cylinder fluid reservoir.

NOTE: Use only Mopar (R) brake fluid or an equivalent from a sealed container. This vehicle comes with and the manufacturer recommends the use of brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specifications. If DOT 4 brake fluid is not available, DOT 3 brake fluid is fully compatible and can be substituted. Brake fluid with less than DOT 3 specifications must not be used.

DO NOT use brake fluid with a lower boiling point than recommended, as brake failure could result during prolonged hard braking.

DO NOT use petroleum-based fluid because seal damage in the brake system will result.

Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightly sealed container.
