Brake And/Or Clutch Fluid Check: Notes

Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of accidental contact, immediately wash the affected parts with water and neutral soap, then rinse thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if swallowed.

Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled on any painted surface, wash off with water immediately.

Never use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, motor oil, transmission fluid, or any fluid containing mineral oil to clean the system components. These fluids damage rubber cups and seals. Use only fresh brake fluid or Mopar brake cleaner to clean or flush brake system components. These are the only cleaning materials recommended. If system contamination is suspected, check the fluid for dirt, discoloration, or separation into distinct layers. Also check the reservoir cap seal for distortion. Drain and flush the system with new brake fluid if contamination is suspected.

Before removing the master cylinder cap, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder reservoir.
