Brake fluid reservoir
The brake fluid reservoir is located on the left side of the engine compartment. The reservoir cap has a vent hole that should not be blocked.
Checking the brake fluid level
The tank has a transparent body and the brake fluid level can be monitored from the outside. A brake system control lamp signals that the brake fluid level in the tank is too low.
The brake fluid level should always be between the MAX and MIN marks.
A slight drop in the brake fluid level occurs during vehicle operation due to wear of the brake linings and automatic adjustment of the brake shoes. This is a completely normal phenomenon.
If the brake fluid level has dropped significantly in a short period of time or has dropped below the MIN mark, the cause may be a leak in the brake system. The brake system warning light signals that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low.
