brake fluid level

a
Add the
recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
Recommended brake fluid
DOT 4
Front brake
S
Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
S
Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
S
When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the reservoir. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the brake
fluid and could cause vapor lock.
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
In order to ensure a correct reading of the brake
fluid level, make sure that the top of the reser-
voir is horizontal.
