    1. C302727C01

      *a

      MAX Line

      *b

      MIN Line

      Check the brake fluid level.

      If the brake fluid level is lower than the MIN line, check for leaks and brake pad wear. If necessary, refill the reservoir with brake fluid to the MAX line after repair or replacement.

      Brake Fluid

      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3

      SAE J1704 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT4

      Note:

      If using a dropper to adjust the brake fluid amount, make sure that the dropper has not been used with mineral oils, water or deteriorated brake fluid. Sealed areas may deteriorate and lead to brake fluid leaks, or the brake fluid may deteriorate and lead to decreased efficiency.
