Carefully!
- Brake fluid is hazardous to the eyes and can damage painted surfaces, so be extremely careful when handling it.
- Do not use fluid that has been in an open container for some time, as it absorbs moisture from the air, which can lead to a dangerous reduction in braking performance.
Safety first!
If the brake fluid level drops rapidly and frequent topping up is required, this means that there are leaks in the system that must be immediately detected and repaired.
If a brake fluid leak is suspected, do not drive the vehicle until you have thoroughly checked the brake system. Never risk driving a car if there is even the slightest doubt about the serviceability of the brakes.
Advice.
- Make sure your vehicle is level.
- As the brake pads wear, there will be a slight drop in the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir, but the fluid level should never be allowed to fall below the mark "MIN".
1. Tags "MIN" And "MAX" applied to the wall of the storage tank. The fluid level should be kept between these marks.
2. Before adding fluid, wipe the area around the filler neck with a clean cloth.
3. Before adding fluid, check that the filter (where it is installed) is clean and free of insoluble deposits.
4. Carefully drink the liquid up to the level "MAX", being careful not to spill it on surrounding surfaces. Use only fluid recommended by the manufacturer; mixing fluids of different types can cause brake system failure. After pouring, tighten the lid tightly and remove all liquid spills.
5. Check the operation of the emergency liquid level warning light. Chock the wheels, release the parking brake and turn on the ignition. Have an assistant press the rubber buttons on top of the tank one by one. The brake fluid level warning light should come on.
