BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, and thus ab-
sorbs humidity. Excessive moisture in the
brake fluid
may adversely affect the
safety of the hydraulic braking system.
It is, therefore, necessary to change the
brake fluid every 2 years.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and will also
damage the paint finish of your car. The
fluid level in the container
must not be
higher than the "MAX" mark or lower than
the "MIN" mark.
For replenishing use only the specified
brake fluid.
After removing the filler cap, top up to
the "MAX"
mark and tighten the cap
securely afterwards.
Low fluid level can indicate a leak in the
braking system.
Have the system checked at your near-
est Daewoo Outlet.
Service interval Capacity
Change every 20,000 miles 0.5L
or 2 years
CAUTION
If the brake indicator light comes on
while driving, the fluid reservoir should
be filled to the level mark with recom-
mended brake fluid.
WARNING
~I -----~
Do not allow brake fluid to make con-
tact with the skin or eyes. If this should
happen, rinse the affected areas imme-
diately with plenty of water. If irritation
occurs consult
a
doctor. Brake fluid will
damage paintwork. If splashed or spilt
on
a painted surface wipe it off imme-
diately with
a
wet sponge.

The level in the reservoir should be check-
ed in accordance with the intervals speci-
fied in this manual. A dipstick attached to
the cap bears the markings "ADD" and
"FULL",
With the engine at operating temperature,
the fluid level should be at the "FULL"
mark: with the engine cold, the level must
not fall below the "ADD" mark.
