Multi-link (5-Link) type suspension is the independent suspension. It provides good ride comfort
and drivability by reducing the coil spring weight. Also, it increases the space for passenger
compartment by lowering the floor. This type of suspension consists of multiple links such as coil
spring, shock absorber, upper and lower arms, lateral rod and stabilizer bar.

Brake Fluid ▶
Brake Fluid Type ▶ 1. Color
Ligh gold (New oil) → Brown → Black -
2. Service Interval/Type
Change: every 2 years, Type: DOT4
The water in the brake fluid has an adverse effect to the brake system. If the fluid contains
around 3% of water, the boiling point of the brake fluid goes down by 25%. It will cause
the vapor lock frequently.
Water content in fluid: around 3% after 18 months, around 7~10% after few years
The water ib fluid makes the corrosion in the brake lines, deforms and deteriorates the
rubber components, brake calipers and pistons. -
DOT4: Brake fluid for premium vehicle. Lower water absorbing rate AND higher boiling point
than DOT3
Brake Fluid Level Check ▶
The brake fluid level should be between "MAX"
and "MIN" on the reservoir. If it is below "MIN"
mark, check for oil leaks and refill the reservoir
with the specified fluid.
