Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts. For example,.just a few
drops of mineral-based oil, such
as
engine
oil,
in
your brake system can damage brake
system parts
so
badly that they’ll have to be
replaced. Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind of fluid.
If you spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s
painted surfaces, the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to spill brake
fluid on your vehicle.
If
you
do, wash it
off immediately. See &‘Appearance Care”
in
the Index.
Brake
Wear
If
you have a
C

HD
model,
it
has four-wheel
disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that
make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake
pads are worn and
new
pads are needed. The sound
may come and
go
or
be heard all
the
time your vehicle
is
moving (except
when
you
are pushing
on
the
brake
pedal firmly).
A’
CAUTION:
I
The brake wear warning sound means that
sooner or later your brakes won’t work well.
That could lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have your
vehicle serviced.
