Brake Fluid
Function of Brake Fluid
The brake fluid is used to transfer power in the
hydraulic brake system.
The brake fluid used for the vehicle is specially
developed by GAC MOTOR. To ensure normal
operation of the brake system, only the brake fluid
recommended by GAC MOTOR can be used.
The brake fluid is water-absorbing. It can
absorb moisture from the air around constantly in
the process of usage. If the brake fluid stays inside
the system for a too long time and thus absorbs too
much water, air lock will be produced inside the
pipeline of braking system, reducing brake effect
and driving safety, and even causing complete
failure of the braking system and accidents. Check
the brake fluid level or replace the brake fluid
regularly in an interval specified by the
Warranty Manual at any authorized GAC
Motor's dealer.
Hint
Specification of brake fluid: DOT4.
Warning
•
Using waste brake fluid or brake fluid not
suitable for this vehicle will greatly decrease
the braking effect, or even cause failure of the
brake system. GAC MOTOR will assume no
responsibility to any fault or damage raised
therefrom, including warranties.
•
Use the brake fluid that conforms to the
standard and is unused.
•
The brake fluid container is labeled with the
specifications. Always use the brake fluid with
correct specifications.
Brake system indicator light
If the indicator light goes on in red and the
instrument cluster displays the message “Please
add brake fluid” when driving, park the vehicle at a
safe place immediately and check whether the fluid
level is normal.
