Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently, and immediately if you notice even the slightest
loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground.
Level
It is normal for the level to drop as the brake shoes become worn, but it must never
drop below the "MINI" warning line shown on the brake fluid reservoir 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum wear yourself, you should obtain the document
explaining the checking procedure from the manufacturer's network or website.
Tip
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, consult an approved dealer.
WARNING
Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may come on at any moment. The
label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
