Checking the brake fluid level
OJWEV091003 OJWEV091003
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 kilometers. 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
• Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint
damage will result.
•
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.
•
Do not use the wrong kind of brake
fluid. A few drops of mineral based
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).
