Brake fluid level: Check  
NOTICE  
♦ Never allow brake fluid to come into contact with fluids  
that contain mineral oils (e.g. oil, petrol, cleaning agents).  
Mineral oils will damage seals and rubber grommets of  
brake system.  
♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. In addition, due to its corrosive ef‐  
fect, brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork.  
♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs mois‐  
ture from the ambient air and should therefore always be  
stored in air-tight containers.  
♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.  
♦ Observe relevant disposal regulations.  
When replenishing, ensure to not spill any liquids in the en‐  
gine compartment.  
Spilled liquids may cause damage in the motor compartment.  
Toothed belts, V-belts and poly V-belts which came into con‐  
tact with oil, brake fluid or coolant must always be renewed.  
Brake fluid level at delivery inspection  
– At delivery inspection, the fluid level must be at MAX. mark‐  
ing -1-.  
Note  
To prevent brake fluid from flowing out of the reservoir, the max.  
marking -1- must not be exceeded.  
Brake fluid level at inspection service  
Note  
The fluid level must always be judged in conjunction with  
lining/pad wear.  
When vehicle is in use, fluid level tends to drop slightly due  
to lining/pad wear and automatic adjustment.  
Recommended brake fluid level “before” brake pads are at wear  
limit  
At MIN marking or just above -2-
