On-vehicle inspection





1. Brake fluid level check

(1) Check the brake fluid level. If necessary, refill the fluid up to the MAX level of the reservoir.

CAUTION:
If a syringe, etc. is used for adjusting the fluid level, make sure that it has not been used for mineral oil, water, or deteriorated brake fluid. It causes deterioration of sealing parts and brake fluid, and fluid leakage and poor brake performance.
