A13. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN BRAKE
RESERVOIR
<Vehicles with ABS>
<Vehicles without ABS>
1. Check that the fluid level is between the "MAX"
and "MIN" mark.
2. If it is below the "MIN" marks, replenish with fresh
brake fluid up to the "MAX" mark.

1. Check that the fluid level is between the "MAX"
and "MIN" mark.
2. If it is below the "MIN" marks, replenish with fresh

A15. CHANGE BRAKE FLUID
1. Remove the cap of the bleeder screw, connect a
vinyl tube, and place its other end in a receptacle.
CAUTION
If the reservoir tank completely runs out of fluid
during operation, air will find way into the brake
line. Pay attention, therefore, to the fluid level
and replenish as necessary.
2. Loosen the bleeder screw and depress the brake
pedal; supply new brake fluid when the level of
the fluid within the reservoir tank decreases.
Specified brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4
CAUTION
Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mix-
ture of the specified brake fluid and other fluid. If
brake fluid is exposed to the air, it will absorb
moisture; as water is absorbed from the atmos-
phere, the boiling point of the brake fluid will
decrease and the braking performance will be
seriously impaired. For this reason use a hermet-
ically sealed 1 L or 0.5 L brake fluid container.
Firmly close the cap of the brake fluid container
after use.
3. When fresh fluid has come to flow out from the
vinyl tube, tighten the bleeder screw.
NOTE: This change from existing to fresh fluid
can be judged by change in colour of fluid that
flows out.
