Work descriptions
Note:
To make sure that brake fluid will not overflow
n
reservoir, max. marking must not be exceeded.
Inspection service:
- fluid level must always be judged in conjunction with brake
pad wear. When vehicle is in use, fluid level tends to drop
slightly due to brake pad wear and automatic adjustment.
- When fluid level is at min. marking or just above, it is not
necessary to top up if brake pad wear limit is almost
reached.
- If pads are new or well above wear limit, then fluid level
must be between min. and max. markings.
- If fluid level is below min. marking, brake system must be
checked before brake fluid is added (repair measure).
