Checking brake system for leaks.
Checking brake fluid level
L Note:
The brake fluid volume (between MIN and MAX) is
sufficient for the complete range of pad wear from
new to the wear limit.
It is not normally necessary to add fluid to compen-
sate for pad wear.
If the level drops below the minimum mark, this indi-
cates some other fault.
