Brakes

Checking Brake Fluid

  • Place your vehicle in an upright position on a firm, level surface.
  • Check that the brake fluid reservoir is horizontal and that the fluid level is above the LOWER level mark.

  • If the brake fluid level in either reservoir is below the LOWER level mark or both the brake levers 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.
