Determining the fluid level in the reservoir of the main brake cylinder
The fluid level in the reservoir of the brake master cylinder is determined by the Min and Max marks.
Determining the fluid level in the clutch cylinder reservoir
Level (1) the fluid in the clutch cylinder reservoir is visible from the outside.
The brake master cylinder is mounted on a vacuum booster inside the engine compartment. The clutch master cylinder, provided on vehicles with a manual transmission, is located next to the brake master cylinder.
The liquid level in both tanks must be 6 mm below the Max.
1. If the liquid level in both tanks is below normal, then remove the plugs from the tanks, after wiping the surface of the tanks with a clean rag.
2. Add only the recommended fluid to the brake and clutch master cylinder reservoirs (see subsection 2.2). It is forbidden to add liquid that was in an open vessel.
3. After removing the tank cap, check for dirt inside the tank. If sediment is present, the fluid must be drained and replaced.
4. After restoring the liquid level in the tanks, make sure that the plugs are securely fastened to avoid liquid leakage and (or) pressure drop in the system.
5. The brake fluid level will drop as the brake pads naturally wear out. The need for frequent topping up of fluid in the reservoir of the brake master cylinder is a sign of a leak in the brake system, the cause of which must be immediately found and eliminated. Check all connections and the condition of the tubes and hoses of the brake circuit, as well as the wheel cylinders and the vacuum booster.
6. If, when checking the fluid level in the reservoir of the master brake cylinder, it is found that there is no (or almost complete absence) fluids, air should be bled from the system.
