6. In-service maintenance
WARNING
● Using waste brake fluid or using
brake fluid not applicable to the
vehicle will remarkably reduce the
braking effect and even cause the
brake system to fail! The company
does not assume any responsibility
(including quality guarantee) for
vehicle failures and damage caused
thereby.
● Brake fluid in use must meet the
criteria and be fresh.
Brake system indicator lamp
When the vehicle is running, if the indicator
lamp comes on in red, and the instrument
cluster displays the information “Please add
brake fluid”, be sure to immediately stop the
vehicle at a safe place and check whether the
brake fluid level is normal.
NOTE
●
Be sure to read and follow the relevant
warning instructions carefully before
opening the engine hood.
●
After check of the brake fluid level, if
the fluid level is below “MIN”, brake fluid
must be added.
●
If the brake system warning lamp does
not go out or comes on again after the
brake fluid is added, there may be a
leak in the brake system, causing the
brake fluid level to drop quickly, or the
brake system malfunctions. In this case,
do not continue to drive and contact the
GAC Motor authorized shop in time for
inspection.
Inspecting brake fluid level
When the engine cools down, remove the rear
upper guard plate of engine compartment, and
check whether the brake fluid level is between
the maximum scale mark “MAX” and the
minimum scale mark “MIN”.
During vehicle use, the brake fluid level will
slightly drop due to the worn brake linings and
automatic adjustment.
If the brake fluid level drops significantly in a
short period of time or drops below “MIN”, it
indicates that the brake system may leak.
