BRAKE FLUID
Top-up
Brakes
WARNING
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containers
sealed and out of the reach of children. If
accidental consumption of fluid is suspected,
seek medical attention immediately.
If brake fluid should come into contact with
the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Take care not to spill fluid onto a hot engine -
a fire may result.
CAUTION: DO NOT drive the vehicle with the
H2577
fluid level below the ‘MIN’ mark.
Wipe the filler cap clean before removing to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
Unscrew the cap (1/8 turn) and top-up the
reservoir to the ‘MAX’ mark using brake fluid
conforming to DOT 4 specification. If this is not
available, use a universal brake fluid or any
brake fluid having a minimum boiling point of
500 ºF (260 ºC) and complying with FMVSS 116
DOT4.
NOTE: Brake fluid will damage painted
surfaces; soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area
with a mixture of car shampoo and water.
Check
The fluid level may fall slightly during normal
use as a result of brake pad wear but should not
be allowed to fall below the ‘MIN’ mark. Any
substantial drop in fluid indicates a leak in the
system, in which case the vehicle must NOT be
driven and you should contact your retailer.
Use only new fluid from an airtight container
(old fluid from opened containers or fluid
previously bled from the system will have
absorbed moisture, which will adversely affect
performance, and must NOT be used). DO NOT
OVERFILL!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Contact your retailer immediately if brake
pedal travel is unusually long or if there is
any appreciable drop in brake fluid level.
Brake fluid must be completely renewed every
30,000
miles (48,000 km) or 24 months,
whichever is the sooner.
In addition, note the advice contained under
‘Brake fluid/component replacement’,
page 175.
With the vehicle on level ground, check the fluid
level at least every week (more frequently in
high mileage or arduous operating conditions).
Check the level visually through the side of the
transparent reservoir without removing the
filler cap.
