WARNING
!
7.5 Controlling the brake fluid
The brakes are a vital part when driving a Car. It is of utmost importance to ensure
that the brakes are functioning correctly at all times. Controlling the brake fluid level
is an indicator showing if the braking system is functioning correctly.
This vehicle is equipped with a brake fluid level warning indicator which is on the
instrument cluster. It informs the driver, if the brake fluid level is reaching a level too
low for safe braking operation. If the light is lit in this indicator, a check and a refill
could be necessary. It is recommended that a check of the brake fluid level is made
regularly. The brake fluid container is found under the seat in the battery compart-
ment. Check that the fluid level is above the minimum requirement but still below the
maximum requirement. Too much or too little brake fluid can cause permanent dam-
age to the entire braking system, putting your safety at risk.
Always use DOT 4 brake fluid.
If brake fluid levels are correct but the braking system shows irregularities, please
consult a qualified repair shop. Garia recommends that all maintenance and repairs
are provided by an Authorized Garia Service Dealer.
