Replacing brake fluid
Brake fluid reservoir can be identified by yellow cover (Fig. 1.78).
Check brake fluid level 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 podregulirovaniya brake pads. This is quite normal. If the brake fluid level has fallen markedly in the short term or fell below the ?�Min?�, the cause may be a violation of tightness of brake system. About too low brake fluid level warning lamp indicates the brake system.
Change brake fluid Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Therefore, during operation of the vehicle brake fluid takes a certain amount of water from the ambient air. Too much water content of the brake fluid may eventually corrode parts of the service braking system. Furthermore, this significantly decreases when the boiling point of brake fluid.
ATTENTION In very old brake fluid is possible with a large load on the braking system the occurrence of vapor bubbles in the system. This adversely affects the efficiency of the braking system and thus traffic safety. |
