- When checking the brake fluid level, always consider brake lining wear. When driving, a slight drop in brake fluid level results from normal wear and automatic adjustment of the brake linings.
- If the brake fluid level is at the minimum marking or slightly above, and the brake linings are close to the wear limit, it is not necessary to add fluid.
- If the brake linings are new or well away from the wear limit, the brake fluid level must be between the min. and max. markings.
- If the brake fluid level has dropped below the min. marking, check the brake system before adding brake fluid.
