Brakes

Checking Brake Fluid

Place your vehicle in an upright position

on a firm, level surface.

Front

Check that the brake fluid reservoir is

horizontal and that the fluid level is above

the LWR mark.

Rear

Check that the brake fluid reservoir is

horizontal and that the fluid level is

between the LOWER level and UPPER level

marks.

If the brake fluid level in either reservoir is

below the LWR or LOWER level mark or the

brake lever and pedal freeplay becomes

excessive, inspect the brake pads for wear.

If the brake pads are not worn, you most

likely have a leak. Have your vehicle

inspected by your dealer.
