Source note on shared footage
We have a massive and growing video library, but we don't have everything...yet.
Car companies often use the same engines in different cars. They also slightly alter the styling and sell the same car by two different names (amongst other tricks to help offset development costs).
Our system selects the most applicable video for your car based, in part, on these characteristics. The video displayed may not look exactly like your car, but may be relevant enough for you to get a good idea how to do it.

我们有一个庞大且不断增长的视频资料库，但还没有全部内容……
汽车制造商经常在不同车型中使用相同的发动机。 它们还略微调整了外观设计，并以两个不同的名称销售同一款车（以及其他一些技巧，以帮助抵消开发成本）。
我们的系统会根据这些特性，部分地选择最适合您车辆的视频。 视频中显示的内容可能与您的车辆外观不完全相同，但可能足够相关，让您了解如何操作。
Procedure notes
When you hit the brake pedal in your 2001 Chevrolet Express 3500 it pumps brake fluid down to your brakes which increases the pressure to make your car slow down. If you don't have enough brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir, air can get in your brake lines and your Express 3500 won't stop properly. The video above shows you how to add brake fluid to your Chevrolet Express 3500. If you are adding brake fluid to your Express 3500 on a regular basis, you should check for leaks (we have a video for this too!) As with most fluids in your engine, brake fluid can cause serious harm if you get it in your eyes, so be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves. Brake fluid will also make your paint peel off if you spill it on your Express 3500, so be careful not to spill it.When adding fluid to your Express 3500, it is important to check your owners manual for the correct type to add - it likely be either DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5, also known as silicone brake fluid. Do not shake the fluid before pouring it in your vehicle - the air bubbles will foul up your brake lines. Be sure to discard bottles of brake fluid that are over a year old - brake fluid sucks the moisture out of the air and the water vapor in the fluid can rust out your brake lines quickly. Brake fluid breaks down with use and should be changed every 2 years in your Chevrolet Express 3500 or whenever it looks dark in color - this will make the internal brake components last longer.

当你踩下2001雪佛兰Express 3500的刹车踏板时，制动液会被泵送到刹车系统，从而增加压力，使车辆减速。 如果制动液储液罐中的制动液不足，空气会进入制动管路，导致您的Express 3500无法正常制动。 上面的视频展示了如何为您的 雪佛兰 Express 3500 添加制动液。 如果你定期为 Express 3500 添加制动液，应检查是否存在泄漏（我们还有一段相关视频！）。就像发动机中的其他液体一样，制动液如果进入眼睛，可能会造成严重伤害，因此请务必佩戴安全眼镜和手套。 如果制动液溅到 Express 3500 上，会使漆面剥落，因此请小心避免泼洒。为 Express 3500 添加制动液时，务必查阅车主手册，确认应添加的正确类型；可能是 DOT 3、DOT 4，或称为硅基制动液的 DOT 5。 将制动液加入车辆前不要摇晃容器，产生的气泡会影响制动管路正常工作。 请务必丢弃使用超过一年的制动液瓶——制动液会从空气中吸收水分，液体中的水蒸气会迅速导致制动管路生锈。 制动液在使用过程中会分解，建议每 2 年在您的 雪佛兰 Express 3500 中更换一次，或者当其颜色变深时立即更换——这将有助于延长刹车内部部件的使用寿命。
