12-38 Simple inspection and service
6.1 Check
The fluid level should be between the “MAX” and
“MIN” lines on reservoir tank . Check whether the
reservoir tank contains foreign matter. If you see
foreign matter in the reservoir tank, have the reser-
voir tank inspected and cleaned by an authorized
dealer.
NOTE:
The warning lamp is illuminated when the
brake fluid level drops below the “MIN” line.
CAUTION
Do not open cap of reservoir tank for inspec-
tion purposes.
6.2 Adding fluid
1. If the fluid level is lower than the “MIN” line,
remove cover , clean the surfaces around cap
of reservoir tank, open cap , and add the rec-
ommended brake fluid up to the “MAX” line.
2. Close the cap firmly.
CAUTION
Be careful not to exceed the “MAX” line when
adding brake fluid.
WARNING
• The container used for adding brake fluid
should be a clean one free of moisture,
mineral oil, and dust.
• Be extremely careful not to let dust and
other foreign matter enter the reservoir
tank, as foreign matter in the tank could
cause a failure of the brake system.
If you see foreign matter in the reservoir
tank, have it checked and cleaned by an
authorized dealer.
• If the fluid level is unusually low, there is a
fluid leak in the brake line. In this case,
have your vehicle inspected at an autho-
rized dealer.
