The simplest car maintenance operations

11.3.3 Checking the brake fluid level

Periodically check the brake fluid level in the expansion tank. This level shall be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the master cylinder expansion tank. Thoroughly clean the surface around the cap before removing the tank cap and refilling the brake fluid in order to avoid contamination of the brake fluid.

As the car mileage increases, the brake fluid level will decrease. This is due to the condition of the brake pads and is not a sign of a fault.

Attention
In case if there is a need to refill the brake fluid frequently, the car shall be checked at the service station.

Attention
The brake fluid shall be handled with care when changing or refilling it. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes. In case of contact, immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of running tap water. After that, it is necessary to conduct a medical examination as soon as possible.
