Brake Fluid

GENERAL INFORMATION.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic and readily absorbs moisture from the air. Increased water content in the brake fluid reduces the effectiveness and

safety of the hydraulic brake system..

For this reason, brake fluid must be replaced in accordance with the

vehicle maintenance schedule. Brake fluid is toxic and corrosive to the vehicle body paint. The fluid

level must be between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir

wall. Use only the recommended brake fluid type for topping up.

Remove the reservoir cap and bring the brake fluid level up to the MAX mark. Then tighten the cap securely. A drop in brake fluid level may

indicate a fluid leak through loose connections in the brake hydraulic system. In this case, contact a service center to correct the fault.

Replacement interval.

Every 20000 km or once a year.

Capacity – 0.5 L.

Warning.

If the brake system warning lamp comes on while driving,

this may indicate a low brake fluid level in the reservoir. Restore the level to normal by adding brake fluid of the recommended type..

Exceeding the maximum brake fluid level is also undesirable..

Avoid getting brake fluid in the eyes or on exposed skin. If

this happens, immediately flush the affected area with plenty of water and, if irritation occurs, seek medical attention. Brake fluid

is corrosive to the vehicle body paint. Therefore, if brake fluid gets on the body surface, immediately rinse it off.

place with clean water, wiping with a damp sponge.
