Check brake fluid level



Brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment. The plug is equipped with a tank vent which should not be blocked.
The tank has a transparent body, and therefore the brake fluid level can be controlled from the outside.

Check brake fluid level
Fig. 2.25. Check brake fluid level


The brake fluid level must always be between the MAX and MIN (Fig. 2.25).
The brake fluid level may be slightly reduced during operation of the vehicle as a result of wear of brake linings and automatic regulation of brake pads. This is quite normal.
If the brake fluid level fell markedly in the short term, or was lower mark MIN, likely leakproof brake system. About too low level brake fluid warning lamp signals.
