- DOT 4 specification brake fluid.
Examination
Expansion tank 1 with brake fluid is located at the rear of the engine compartment on the left side. It consists of two chambers, one chamber for each brake circuit (see illustration 23.0).
The reservoir is made of transparent material, which makes it easy to determine the level of the brake fluid at any time. If the brake fluid level falls below the MIN·mark, the driver is warned by a warning light on the instrument panel. Despite this, it is recommended to regularly visually check the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir.
The level of brake fluid in the expansion tank with the cap closed should not be above mark 2 (MAX), but should not fall below the mark 3 (MIN) (see illustration 23.0).
Fill the system with only the brake fluid recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Do not fill with brake fluid other than DOT specifications. If necessary, wipe the filler cap with a clean cloth before removing it.
Due to wear of the disc brake pads, a slight decrease in the level of brake fluid in the expansion tank may occur. This is considered normal. However, if the brake fluid level drops significantly for a short time, this indicates a brake fluid leak. In this case, you should immediately find the place of the leak.
For safety reasons, in such cases, you should contact the workshop (ONE HUNDRED) to test the entire braking system.
