Brakes
Checking Brake Fluid
1. Place your vehicle in an upright position
on a firm, level surface.
2.
Front
Check that the brake fluid reservoir
is horizontal and that the fluid level is
above the LOWER level mark.
Rear
Check that the brake fluid reservoir
is horizontal and that the fluid level is
between the LOWER level and UPPER
level marks.
If the brake fluid level in either reservoir is
below the LOWER level mark or the brake
lever and pedal freeplay becomes excessive,
inspect the brake pads for wear.
If the brake pads are not worn, you most
likely have a leak. Have your vehicle
inspected by your dealer.
