Check brake fluid level
Brake fluid reservoir is located on the left side of the engine compartment on the master cylinder. Changing the volume of brake fluid which occurs during the operation of the braking system (including temperature fluctuation), equalized by the brake fluid reservoir. To equalize the volume in the reservoir cap has a small hole, which must always be open (not blocked deposits). If part worn or new brake pad linings brake fluid level in the reservoir is below a label ?�Min?�, therefore, there was a loss of tightness of the brake system is leaking brake fluid. Refilling the fluid in this case is carried out only after the recovery system for leaks. Top up only unexpired brake fluid. If hydraulic brakes defective, and the brake fluid level is below the mark ?�Min?�, this is due to the normal lining wear mechanisms. As brake fluid is hygroscopic (takes moisture from the air) should be systematically change the brake fluid every 2 years, even if the braking system is running fine.
