Testing Values and Process Specifications Table
| Service: | Fluid Level Specified Value: |
|---|---|
| Delivery service | Fluid level at the MAX mark. |
| Changing the brake fluid | Fluid level between the MAX and MIN mark, consistent with the wear condition of the brake pads. |
The leak test for the brake system is a repair procedure and should be charged separately.
Procedure:
-- Check the brake fluid level based on the markings -arrows- in the brake fluid reservoir.
-- Perform the following actions depending on the test result:
| Fluid level: | Evaluation / Action: |
|---|---|
| Over the MAX mark | Extract the brake fluid. |
| Under the specified level | Perform a leak test for the brake system. Refer to LEAK TEST . |
Due to wear and the automatic adjustment of the brake pads while driving, the brake fluid level lowers.
