Brake and clutch fluid level
For hydraulic brake models, clutch fluid is
also used as brake fluid and is contained
in the same tank.
Check that the brake and clutch fluid level
is between the "MAX" and "ADD" mark on
the reservoir.
The level should be between the MAX
and ADD level line. If the level is lower
than the ADD level line, fill the MAX level
line with the recommended hydraulic
brake fluid.
If the brake fluid reservoir is equipped
with a level indicator, periodic fluid level
checking is not necessary.
CAUTION
• Before refilling the tank, clean the
area around the cap and fill clutch
fluid from a clean container. Foreign
objects getting in the tank will lead
to a clutch system failure.
• When adding fluid to the tank, take
care to prevent dirt and water from
entering it. Any dirt or water in the
system could cause the vehicle to
lose brake and clutch functions.
• Inspect and change brake (clutch)
fluid according to the Maintenance
Schedule.
• Use non-petroleum base brake
(clutch) fluid when adding brake
(clutch) fluid.
• Be careful not to spill brake (clutch)
fluid onto painted surfaces or to let
it come in contact with skin. If fluid
is spilled onto a painted surface or
come in contact with skin, wash
away the fluid with water and
immediately wipe the area clean.
• Brake (clutch) fluid readily absorbs
moisture. Therefore, it is necessary
to close the container tightly for
storage.
• Never mix the specified brake
(clutch) fluid with fluids of any other
brand.
• If the brake (clutch) fluid level
decreases rapidly, there may be a
problem in the brake system or
clutch system, or brake pads or shoe
linings may have worn out. Have
your vehicle inspected by the
nearest Isuzu Dealer immediately.
