Checking the level
›
Check the level of brake fluid in the reservoir » Fig. 130.
The level must be between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings.
A slight drop in the fluid level results when driving due to normal wear-and-
tear and automatic adjustment of the brake pads.
There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the fluid
level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the “MIN” mark-
ing.
Too low brake fluid level is indicated by the warning light
lighting up in the
instrument cluster as well as the relevant notification being dis-
played » page 35,
Brake system.
Specification
