SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• When adding fluid to the tank, take care to prevent dirt and water from entering
it. Any dirt or water in the system could cause the vehicle to lose braking
functions.
• Inspect and change brake fluid according to the Maintenance Schedule.
• Use non-petroleum base brake fluid when adding brake fluid.
• Be careful not to spill brake fluid onto painted surfaces or to let it come in
contact with skin. If fluid is spilled onto a painted surface or come in contact with
skin, wash away the fluid with water and immediately wipe the area clean.
• Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to close the
container tightly for storage.
• Never mix the specified brake fluid with fluids of another brand.
• If the brake fluid level decreases rapidly, there may be a problem in the brake
system or brake pads or shoe linings may have worn out. Have your vehicle
inspected by the nearest Isuzu Dealer immediately.

Brake Fluid
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
Remove the inspection cover on the driver
side of the instrument panel by turning it
with your fingers. Check that the fluid level
in the reserve tank is between the "MAX"
and "ADD" lines.
If the fluid surface cannot easily be seen,
rock the vehicle gently.
Adding Brake Fluid
If the level of brake fluid has dropped below
the "ADD" line, remove the cap and add
fluid. Take care to avoid filling beyond the
"MAX" line.
Tighten the cap securely after the fluid has
been added.
