Fluid level in the brake system and clutch

            0

Warning: Brake fluid is hazardous to eyes and painted surfaces. Handle her with care.


Warning: Do not use liquid that has been stored in an open container for a long time, as it absorbs moisture from the air. This can lead to a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the brakes.


1. The brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment on the left.



2. Tags "MAX" And "MIN" applied to the wall of the storage tank. The brake fluid level must be maintained between these marks.



3. If topping up is necessary, wipe the area around the filler neck with a clean rag before removing the cap. If you are topping up, it makes sense to inspect the contents of the reservoir. If there is dirt in the fluid, the fluid from the system must be drained and refilled.




4. Add fluid carefully, being careful not to spill it on the painted surfaces. Use only fluid recommended by the manufacturer. Mixing fluids of different types can cause brake system failure. After filling to the required level, screw the lid tightly and remove any smudges.



Safety First


If the brake fluid level drops rapidly and requires frequent topping up, this means that there are leaks in the system that should be checked immediately.

If you suspect a brake fluid leak, do not drive the vehicle until you have thoroughly checked the brake system. Never risk driving a car with the slightest doubt about the serviceability of the brakes.

Advice

  • Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  • The brake fluid level may drop slightly as the brake pads wear, but should not be allowed to drop below the mark "MIN".
