Delivery Inspection
- When performing the Delivery Inspection, ensure that the fluid level is at the MAX -1- mark.
NOTICE The fluid level must not exceed the MAX -1- mark, otherwise the fluid will overflow.
Inspection Service
When the vehicle is driven, the brake fluid level will drop slightly with use and as a result of the automatic adjustment of the brake pads.
- The fluid level must always be judged in conjunction with lining/ pad wear.
- If the fluid level is at or slightly above the MIN -2- marking, topping up is not necessary if the pads are close to their wear limit.
- If the pads are new, or quite far from reaching their wear limit, the fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX markings.
CAUTION If the fluid level has fallen below the MIN mark, check the brake system (repair measure) before adding brake fluid. |
