Checking the Brake Fluid Level
OIK090009
Check the fluid level in the reservoir 
periodically. The fluid level should be 
between MAX and MIN marks on the side 
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and 
adding brake fluid, clean the area around 
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent 
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add the specified 
brake fluid to the MAX level. The level 
will fall with accumulated mileage. This 
is a normal condition associated with 
the wear of the brake linings. If the fluid 
level is excessively low, we recommend 
that the brake system be checked by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products.
 WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent 
additions of fluid, this could indicate 
a leak in the brake system. We 
recommend that the vehicle be 
inspected by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
 WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in 
contact with your eyes. If brake fluid 
comes in contact with your eyes, flush 
your eyes with clean water for at least 
15 minutes and get immediate medical 
attention.
NOTICE
ś Do not allow brake fluid to contact 
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint 
damage will result.
ś Brake fluid, which has been exposed 
to open air for an extended time 
should NEVER be used as its quality 
cannot be guaranteed. It should be 
disposed of properly.
ś Do not use the incorrect type of 
brake fluid. A few drops of mineral 
based oil, such as engine oil, in your 
brake system can damage brake 
system parts.
 Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer 
to “Recommended Lubricants and 
Capacities” section in chapter 2).
