Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection

Brake Fluid Inspection

1. Check around master cylinder and reservoir for fluid leakage. If found leaky, correct.
2. Check fluid level. If fluid level is lower than the minimum level of reservoir, refilling is necessary. Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid indicated on reservoir cap. For the details, refer to Brake Fluid Level Check Brake Fluid Level Check.

CAUTION: Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-filled with glycol-base brake fluid, do not use or mix different type of fluid when refilling system; otherwise serious damage will occur. Do not use old or used brake fluid, or one taken from unsealed container.
