Checking Fluid Level

1. Open the service cover. See Service
Cover, page 1.10.
2. Unscrew the cap anti-clockwise and
remove it.
3. Check the level of the brake fluid. The
brake fluid is correct if the level just
covers the base of the filter in the filler
neck.
4. Top up if necessary using only new
brake fluid. See Brake Fluid, page 7.11.
5. Replace the cap.
NOTE: Ensure the cap is refitted
securely.
