Brake Fluid
The brake fluid is used to transfer power in the
hydraulic brake system.

brake fluid regularly as per the Warranty Manual.
Specification of Brake Fluid
High-quality brake fluid, which can be used

weather, has been filled when the vehicle is
delivered.
Check whether the specifications of the brake
fluid are applicable to your vehicle when
purchasing.
Hint
● Specification of brake fluid: DOT4 synthetic

Brake system indicator light
•
If the brake system indicator light
is on
during traveling, it may be because the brake fluid
level in the tank is too low. To prevent accidents,
immediately stop your vehicle in such case to
check the level of the brake fluid. If the brake fluid
level decreases under the “MIN” mark, it may be
because there is some leakage in the brake system.
Stop driving in such case and contact GAC
MOTOR dealer for inspection as soon as possible.
During the using of your vehicle, the system
will automatically adjust the brake fluid level due to
the wear of braking pad, causing slight decrease of
brake fluid level, which is a normal phenomenon
and requires no worry.
Hint
If the brake fluid storage tank is blocked by
other parts in the engine compartment, preventing
inspection of the brake fluid level directly, go to
GAC MOTOR dealer.
Inspecting the Brake Flui
d Level
- Check
whether the brake fluid level is between
the MAX and MIN marks on the side of the
tank when the engine cools down.
• MAX refers to the upper limit mark of brake
fluid.
•
MIN refers to the lower limit mark of brake fluid.
● The brake fluid level should be betwe
en the
MAX and MIN marks.
