Brake uid level
WARNING
• Brake uid is poisonous and corrosive
and would damage the paint nish of
your vehicle if spilt.
• Use only new uid. Use of old, used
or inferior brake uid may endanger
the functioning of the brake or clutch
system.
The brake uid level should be checked
weekly. The uid level is visible through
the container and should be maintained
between the MIN and MAX level marks.
If the uid is between these levels, do
not remove the cap as brake uid will
quickly absorb moisture if exposed to the
atmosphere.
If uid does need to be added, rst ensure
that the ignition is switched off.
Wipe clean the sides of the cap and
remove the cap. Top up with brake uid.
Refer to Specications in chapter 8 for the
correct brake uid. Remember to replace
the cap and clean any spilt uid.
Note Use only new brake uid. Use of old, used or inferior brake uid may endanger
the functioning of the brake system.
If the brake uid requires constant topping up it could indicate that a fault exists.
Contact your Holden Dealer immediately.
