68PM00707
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between “MAX”
and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid level is
near “MIN” line, fill it up to “MAX” line with
DOT3 (SAE J1703) or DOT4 (SAE J1704)
brake fluid.

EXAMPLE
WARNING
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or seri-
ous damage to the brake system.
• If the brake fluid in the reservoir
drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the instru-
ment cluster will come on (the
engine must be running with the
parking brake fully disengaged).
Should the light come on, immedi-
ately ask your SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the brake system.
• A rapid fluid loss indicates leakage
in the brake system which should
be inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer immediately.
• Do not use any fluid other than SAE
J1704 or DOT4 brake fluid. Do not
use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open contain-
ers. It is essential that foreign parti-
cles and other liquids are kept out
of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Be careful
when refilling the reservoir.
