*
E01000800501
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share reservoir tank.To check the fluid levelThe fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks
on the reservoir.
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When the fluid level
falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but
this does not indicate any abnormality.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indi-
cates leaks from the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
