WARNING
-
Brake fluid
OVI075006N
When changing and adding
brake fluid, pay special atten-
tion to it. Before washing your
hands, do not touch your eyes.
When the brake fluid should
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately wash them with
fresh tap water. Immediately
have your eyes examined by a
doctor.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
on a regular basis. The fluid level
should be between MAX and MIN
marks on the reservoir.
Before opening the reservoir cap to
add brake fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap to prevent
brake fluid from being contaminated.
When the level is low, add fluid near
to the MAX level. The level decreas-
es, as the vehicle drives. This is a
normal, associated with the wear-out
of the brake linings. When the fluid
level is excessively low, have the
brake system checked by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
NOTICE
Do not spill the brake fluid over
the body paint. This may damage
the paint.The brake fluid, which is
exposed in the air for an extended
period of time, should not be
used, as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be disposed
in a proper manner. Do not add
unauthorized fluid. A few drops of
mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake system may
damage brake system parts.
Use only the authorized brake fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
or capacities” in the chapter 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
