Required consumables:
- Brake fluid specification FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
The compensation tank with brake fluid is located in the engine compartment.
The expansion tank is made of transparent material so that the brake fluid level can be checked from the outside at any time. In addition, too low a level of brake fluid causes the warning lamp on the instrument panel to light up. But despite this, it is advisable to regularly check the brake fluid level visually.
The brake fluid level must be between the MAX and MIN·marks. 1 - compensation tank cover.
If necessary, fill only with new brake fluid specification FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
Caution: It is normal for the brake fluid level to drop slightly due to worn disc brake pads. Adding brake fluid is not required. When the condition of the brake pads approaches the wear limit, the fluid level in the compensation tank may drop to the MIN·mark. Adding brake fluid in this case is not required.
If the level in the reservoir drops in a short time or it is below the MIN·mark, then this indicates a loss of brake fluid.
In the event of a loss of brake fluid, the leak must be looked for immediately. For safety reasons, the brake system should be checked and repaired at a workshop.
