1. Locate the brake fluid reservoir. It is usually located in the engine bay, near the master cylinder. The reservoir is typically made of clear plastic and has a black cap.
2. Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir. Be careful not to spill any brake fluid.
3. Check the brake fluid level. The brake fluid level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the reservoir.
4. If the brake fluid level is low, add brake fluid. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Do not mix different types of brake fluid.
5. Add brake fluid slowly. Add only enough brake fluid to bring the level between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.
6. Replace the cap on the brake fluid reservoir. Make sure the cap is tight.
7. Test the brakes. Pump the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes are working properly.
Here are some additional tips for adding brake fluid:
* Do not overfill the brake fluid reservoir. This can cause the brakes to fail.
* Do not let brake fluid come into contact with your skin or eyes. Brake fluid is corrosive and can cause irritation.
* If you spill brake fluid, clean it up immediately with water and soap.
* Change the brake fluid every two years or 30,000 miles. This will help to keep your brakes in good working order.
