Brake Fluid Level Inspection
2013 Suzuki Kizashi Sport GTS, FWDSECTION Brake Fluid Level Inspection
NOTE:
- Using improper or contaminated brake fluid can cause brake system failure. Using shock absorber fluid or any other fluid that contains mineral oil for the brake fluid will cause the rubber parts in the brake hydraulic system to swell or distort. If water is mixed in the brake fluid, the boiling point will be lowered.
- Use only the specified brake fluid from a sealed container.
- Do not use a container that has been used for a mineral oil or is wet with water for refilling the brake system.
- Keep all fluid containers capped to prevent contamination and entry of moisture.
- Brake fluid is extremely damaging to painted surfaces. If brake fluid contacts a painted surface, immediately wipe it off and flush the surface thoroughly with water.
- Be sure to use brake fluid indicated on brake master cylinder reservoir cap or in owner's manual.
- Check that brake fluid level is between MAX and MIN marks on reservoir of brake master cylinder.NOTE: If brake warning light sometimes comes on during driving or brake fluid level on brake master cylinder reservoir is "MIN" or lower, check the following points:
- Thickness of front brake pads and rear brake pads
- Fluid leakage from piston seal of brake caliper
- Cracks or damage on brake hoses and brake pipes
- Fluid leakage from brake master cylinder or reservoir
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace faulty parts.
After the repair, replenish brake fluid so that fluid level is between "MAX" and "MIN" marks on brake master cylinder reservoir.
