THE GENERAL DATA

Tank for a brake liquid

The tank for a brake liquid is located at the left in a motor compartment. The tank stopper has a ventilating aperture which should not be corked.

Check of level of a brake liquid

The tank has the transparent case and level of a brake liquid it is possible to supervise outside. About too low level of a brake liquid in a tank the control lamp of brake system signals.
Level of a brake liquid should be always between marks the MOVE and MIN.

Insignificant falling of level of a brake liquid arises during operation of the car owing to deterioration of brake overlays and automatic control brake колодок. This quite normal phenomenon.

If level of a brake liquid has considerably fallen for short term or has decreased below mark MIN, infringement of tightness of brake system can be the reason. About too low level of a brake liquid in a tank the control lamp of brake system signals.
