Brake Fluid Level, Checking

Brake fluid level at the delivery inspection:

For the delivery inspection the fluid level must lie at the MAX. marking - 1 -.





• To prevent the brake fluid from overflowing from the reservoir, the level must not be over the MAX mark.

Brake fluid level at inspection service:

Brake fluid level must always be evaluated depending on brake pad wear.

During operation of the vehicle, the brakes are automatically readjusted depending on wear of the brake pads. Because of the adjustment, brake fluid level will be slightly lower as a result.

• Recommended brake fluid level when brake pad wear limit is nearly reached:

"At MIN-marking and slightly above it", "NO TOPPING OFF REQUIRED".





• Recommended brake fluid level when brake pads are new, or pad wear limit is not nearly reached:

"Between MIN- and MAX-Marking".

CAUTION!
If brake fluid level is below MIN mark, check brake system " repair procedure", before adding brake fluid.
