Must use the brake fluid with the same specifications as the original one, and different
types of brake fluids cannot be mixed.
■
The liquid level should be between
the lower (MIN) and upper (MAX)
marks on the tank wall.

If the liquid level is at or below the
lower limit (MIN) mark, must check
the brake system for leakage and
the brake linings for wear.
Wiper blade
The scraper blade rubber strip is made of synthetic rubber and is a wearing part. The use
environment of various cars and the driver's habits may cause the damage to the scraper
blade; therefore, in order to ensure the service life of the scraper blade and the driving
safety of the car, please pay attention to the following precautions:
■
Do not scrape the ice on the surface of the windshield with the wiper blade, and must
use a dedicated ice scraper to remove it.
■
Do not operate the wiper on the dirty, oily, or waxy windshield surface.
■
Keep the windshield surface clean; do not scrap the windshield surface attached with
dust, sand, insects and foreign objects.
■
When the car is washed and the painted surface of the body is maintained, do not wax
the windshield. The wax layer may cause the light reflection in case of poor light, which
may affect the view of sight and the driving safety. After washing the car, must rinse
the wiper blade with clean water and remove the wax layer on the windshield with a
special glass wax layer cleaner.
■
When washing the car, do not directly wash the wiper blade with a water gun to
prevent its damage from too large washing pressure.
