CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
NOTE:
● Place the vehicle on a suitable stand.
● Make sure the vehicle is upright.
2. Check:
● Brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark “a” → Add the
recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
WARNING
EWA13090
● Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
● Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
● When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
CAUTION:
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
NOTE:
In order to ensure a correct reading of the brake
fluid level, make sure the top of the brake fluid
reservoir is horizontal.
