Check brake fluid level



Brake fluid reservoir


Brake fluid reservoir is located on the left in the engine compartment. Cork has a tank vent, which should not be blocked.

Check brake fluid level

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