The normal chart lists the pads, rotors, hoses, and parking brake with the oil change. Do not stretch that past one year or 10,000 miles.
Use PM-20 or an equivalent that meets WSS-M6C65-A2. The capacity cell says between MIN and MAX. Keep the fluid clean and dry.
Brake Fluid Level Low means inspect the system immediately. Check Brake System means stop safely. This book does not turn those warnings into a pad measurement.
Transmission fluid is a different specification, MERCON LV, on the transmission guide. Do not add it to the brake reservoir.
No rotor diagram is included. The wheel-mounting warning in the lug-nut section says fasteners that hold the rotor to the hub must not interfere with the wheel. That warning is on the wheel lug nut guide.

At every oil-change interval, and not past one year or 10,000 miles.
