The brake reservoir is concealed by a cover that is retained with securing clips. On the RHD model the brake reservoir is located on the RH side of the bulkhead. On the LHD model the brake reservoir is located on the LH side of the bulkhead. The brake fluid is visible through the translucent reservoir and must be maintained at the 'MAX' mark.
CAUTION:
Damage to paint work. Take care when filling the brake system with fluid. Brake fluid is a corrosive substance and will damage vehicle paint work.
It is imperative that the brake hydraulic system is not contaminated.
Clean the area around the reservoir neck before and after replenishing the reservoir. Only use fluid from a fresh, sealed container. Brake fluid is a hygroscopic substance and will deteriorate on contact with air.
