Brake Fluid: Service and Repair





Brake and clutch hydraulic system:
check fluid level, top up if necessary:

Caution!

Brake fluid is toxic. Keep brake fluid off painted surfaces of vehicle as brake fluid will damage the finish.

- Check fluid level in expansion tank; top up brake fluid to max. mark (1) if necessary.

Caution!

- If the fluid level in the expansion tank has dropped to to min. mark (2), either the brake pads are worn or the brake system is leaking. It is not enough merely to top up the brake fluid. It is absolutely essential to identify what has caused the brake fluid level to drop.

Note:

- It is absolutely essential to rectify any identified faults after consulting the customer.
