114 – PROPER MAINTENANCE OF YOUR VEHICLE
• Overfilling fluid is not recommended
because it may cause leaking in the
system.
• Use only brake fluid that has been
stored in a tightly closed container
to avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture.
• Only use brake fluid that meets Chery
specifications. Refer to Fluids and
Capacities in this chapter for the
brake fluid capacity and type.
CAUTION!
Do not allow petroleum based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake
seal components could be damaged
causing partial or complete brake fail-
ure.
WARNING!
Never allow brake fluid to contact your
skin or eyes. If brake fluid splashes in
your eyes, or on your skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts
of water and seek medical treatment
immediately.
Coolant Level Check
WARNING!
Never add coolant when the engine is
overheated. Do not loosen or remove
the cap to cool an overheated engine.
Heat causes pressure to build up in the
cooling system. Therefore, to prevent
scalding or injury, do not remove the
cap while the system is hot or under
pressure.
The coolant reservoir provides a quick
visual method for determining that
the coolant level is adequate. With the
engine idling and warmed to normal

operating temperature, the level of
the coolant should be between the
MIN and MAX lines shown on the
coolant reservoir.
WARNING!
Coolant is a toxic fluid. If coolant
comes into contact with your skin or
eyes, immediately wash the affected
area with liberal amounts of water and
seek medical attention.
Adding Coolant
• Remove the coolant reservoir cap and
add coolant to the MAX indicated
mark. Start and run the engine until
the coolant temperature reaches ap-
proximately 90ºC. At that time, the
coolant level will drop down in the
reservoir.
• Turn the engine off, add more cool-
ant to the coolant reservoir as
needed, and repeat above process
until the coolant level does not drop
