♦ Brake fluid specification ⇒ page 98
Please note the following:
Delivery inspection:
At delivery inspection the fluid level must be at MAX. marking.
Note
To prevent that brake fluid flows out of reservoir, the MAX marking
must not be exceeded.
Inspection service:
– The fluid level must always be judged in conjunction with lin‐
ing/pad wear. When vehicle is in use, fluid level tends to drop
slightly due to lining/pad wear and automatic adjustment.
– When fluid level is at MIN. marking or just above, fluid should
not be topped up if linings are almost at wear limit.
– If linings/pads are new or well within wear limit, then fluid level
must be between MIN. and MAX. markings.
– If fluid level is below MIN. marking, the brake system should
be checked before fluid is added. (repair measure).
