Turn the engine switch off.
Depress the brake pedal more than 40 times.
Remove the reservoir cap by hand. Add brake fluid up to the “MAX” line.
If you do not follow the procedure above, the reservoir may overflow.
■Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air
Excess moisture in the fluid can cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency. Use only
newly opened brake fluid.

■When filling the reservoir
Take care because brake fluid can harm yo ur hands or eyes and damage painted sur-
faces. If fluid gets on your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately. If
you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear or when
the fluid level in the accumulator is high. If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may
indicate a serious problem.
