[Without Integral ABS] Checking
brake fluid level

(Inspections II and III)

L
Note:
The volume of the brake fluid (MIN/MAX) is sufficient
for lining thicknesses from new to the wear limit.
It is not normally necessary to top up the fluid to ac-
commodate lining wear.
If the level drops below the MIN mark, this indicates
some other fault.
