Brake fluid

Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive and will damage the
paint finish of the vehicle if spilt.
Caution
Avoid contact with eyes and
skin. Wash any affected area
immediately.

Checking brake fluid level

The level should be between the
MIN and MAX area.
If the fluid level is correct, do not
remove the reservoir cap, as brake
fluid exposed to the atmosphere will
quickly absorb moisture.

Adding brake fluid

See Recommended fluids, lubricants
and parts on page 249.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Wipe the sides of the cap clean.
3. Rotate the brake fluid reservoir
cap anticlockwise and remove.
4. Top up with the recommended
brake fluid.
Warning
Using brake fluid other than GM
recommended brake fluid may
cause corrosion to components
of the braking system and
reduced braking performance.
Use only new brake fluid. Use of
old, used or inferior brake fluid
may endanger the functioning of
the brake system.
5. Secure the cap and clean up any
spilt fluid.
If the brake fluid requires regular
topping up, contact a Holden Dealer
immediately.
Caution
Do not dispose of used brake
fluid with household waste.
Use the local, authorised waste
management facility.
