WARNING
Contact your dealer immediately if brake
pedal travel is unusually long or if there is
any appreciable drop in brake fluid level.
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces;
soak up any spillage with an absorbant cloth
immediately and wash the area with a
mixture of car shampoo and water.
Take care not to spill fluid onto a hot engine
- a fire may result.
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containers
out of the reach of children. If consumption
of fluid is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If fluid should come into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty
of fresh water.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
The fluid level will fall slightly during use, as a
result of brake pad wear, but should not be
allowed to fall below the ’MIN’ mark. Any
substantial drop in fluid indicates a leak in the
system, in which case the vehicle must NOT
be driven and you should contact your dealer.
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions) as follows:
1. Turn the starter switch to position ’II’ to
activate the pump (brake warning light
illuminates).
2. If the pump cannot be heard to operate,
press the brake pedal several times.
3. Wait until the pump has stopped operating
and the warning light has extinguished
before checking the fluid level.
