Note: The brake fluid level depends on how worn the brake pads are.
Caution: Do not mix brake fluid with fluids containing mineral oil (oil, gasoline, detergents). The ingress of mineral oils into the brake system leads to damage to the gaskets and lip seals of the brake system.
Caution: Brake fluid is poisonous. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the paintwork, as this will damage it.
Caution: Brake fluid is hygroscopic - it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. Therefore, storage of brake fluid is allowed only in closed containers.
Attention: If there are drops of brake fluid, wash them off with plenty of water.
Attention: Follow the rules for disposal
Pic. 6.5. Brake fluid reservoir
Note: To prevent the brake fluid from leaking out of the reservoir, do not exceed the MAX 1 mark (pic. 6.5 Note:).
Brake Fluid Level at Interval Inspection Service
The brake fluid level should always be judged by the amount of wear on the brake pads.
When driving due to wear and automatic adjustment of the brake pads, the brake fluid level drops slightly.
Recommended brake fluid level with almost completely worn brake pads
At the MIN·mark and slightly above it 2, the brake fluid should not be topped up.
Recommended brake fluid level for new or nearly new brake pads
Between the MIN and MAX marks.
Attention: If the level of the brake fluid has fallen below the MIN 2 mark, then before adding it, the brake system must be diagnosed for leaks.
