Check brake fluid level

Check brake fluid level

The tank has a transparent body, and the brake fluid can be controlled externally. About too low brake fluid level warning lamp indicates the brake system.

The brake fluid level must always be between the MAX and MIN.

The slight drop in the brake fluid occurs 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 has fallen markedly in the short term or fell below MIN, the cause may be a violation of tightness of brake system. About too low brake fluid level warning lamp indicates the brake system.
