Checking the brake fluid hydraulic drive braking system

Brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment.

The tank has a transparent body, so the brake fluid level can be controlled from the outside.

The brake fluid level must always be closer to the mark "MAX".

If the brake fluid level is too low, before removing the plug from the expansion tank with a clean cloth, wipe the stopper and place about plug from contamination, to prevent contaminants entering the hydraulic circuit brake.

Top up with recommended brake fluid to the reservoir. Mixing different types of brake fluid may damage the hydraulic system.
