BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

• Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir tank.
• Check the brake system for any leakage if the fluid level is extremely low (lower than MIN).
• Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warning lamp remains illuminated even after the parking brake is released.
• Check the reservoir tank for the mixing of foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid.
