LEVELS
Brake fluid
This must be checked frequently,
especially if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
Level1
The level falls naturally as the brake
pads wear, but it should never be
allowed to fall below the
MINIMUMwarning mark.Topping up
After any operation on the
hydraulic circuit, a specialist must
replace the brake fluid.
Only use fluids approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department
and which have been taken from a
sealed container.
Fluid change frequency:Refer to
the servicing booklet for your
vehicle.
Take care when working
under the bonnet as the
engine cooling fan may cut
in at any moment.
