Brake Fluid - MG ZR Series Owner's Manual

BRAKE FLUID

Brakes
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containers sealed and out of
the reach of children. If accidental consumption of brake fluid
is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.
Prevent brake fluid coming into contact with the skin or eyes.
If this occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Take care not to spill brake fluid onto a hot engine - a fire may
result.
The level of fluid in the brake reservoir may fall slightly during use,
as a result of brake pad wear and will need to be topped-up from
time to time. If there is any appreciable drop in level over a short
period, consult your dealer. DO NOT drive if the fluid level
is below the 'MIN' mark on the reservoir.
Contact your dealer immediately if brake pedal travel is
unusually long or if there is any appreciable drop in brake fluid
level.
Brake fluid specification
Any proprietary brand of brake, or brake and clutch fluid meeting
DOT 4 specification.
IMPORTANT
Brake fluid must be completely replaced every two years
regardless of mileage.

Check & Top-up
HB0102
Wipe the filler cap clean before removing, to prevent dirt from
entering the reservoir. Unscrew the cap 1/4 turn anti-clockwise
and lift to remove. Top-up the reservoir to the 'MAX' mark using
a recommended fluid.
NOTE: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Soak up any spillage
with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of
car shampoo and water.
Use only new fluid from a sealed container (old fluid from
uncapped containers or fluid previously bled from the system will
have absorbed moisture and/or air, and adversely affect braking
performance).
