hose and pipe do not interfere with
any chassis part or wheel, and that
their joints are not leaking and are
free of any type of damage. Check
the right front brake hose and pipe
in the same way. The rear left and
right brake hoses and pipes should
also be checked in the same
manner.
Disc Brakes and Drum Brakes
If the brake pads and shoe linings
wear out beyond their usable limit,
not only will the brake performance
be impaired, but brake components
could also fail.
{Warning
Do not drive with brake pads and
shoe linings worn out beyond the
limit. Excessively worn brake
pads and shoe linings may cause
breakdown of brake components
and poor braking performance.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Caution
The pad has an embedded wear
indicator. A squeaking noise from
the indicator means that the pad
is approaching the usable limit.
If the squeaking noise from the
indicator can be heard, contact
the nearest dealer for inspection
or replacement.
Brake Fluid
Checking the Brake Fluid
Level
Remove the inspection cover (1) on
the left- hand side of the instrument
panel by turning it with your fingers.
Check that the fluid level in the
reservoir is between the "MAX" and
"ADD" lines.
If the fluid surface cannot easily be
seen, rock the vehicle gently.
Adding Brake Fluid
If the level of brake fluid has
dropped below the "ADD" line,
remove the cap (2) and add fluid.
Take care to avoid filling beyond the
"MAX" line.
Tighten the cap securely after the
fluid has been added.
When adding brake fluid to the tank,
take care to prevent dirt and water
from entering it. Any dirt or water in
the system could cause the vehicle
to lose braking functions.
Inspect and change brake fluid
according to the Maintenance
Schedule.
Use the recommended brake fluid
when adding brake fluid.
