Prevention

Brake fluid is poisonous therefore be careful that it did not get on a body and on a paint and varnish covering of the car.

Check that the level of brake fluid is in a transparent tank between tags of MIN and MAX.

At first wipe area around a cover of a jellied mouth and unscrew a cover from a tank with brake fluid.

Add brake fluid to MAX tag on a tank. Use only the ordered brake fluid as mixing of brake fluids is not allowed.

Check work of a control lamp of level of brake fluid. Include ignition and press the button on the top part of a tank with brake fluid. At the same time the control lamp has to light up.
