Checking the Brake Fluid Level
OIK090009
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add the specified
brake fluid to the MAX level. The level
will fall with accumulated mileage. This
is a normal condition associated with
the wear of the brake linings. If the fluid
level is excessively low, we recommend
that the brake system be checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid, this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
WARNING
Do not let brake fluid enter into your
eyes. If brake fluid gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
NOTICE
[ Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as it will
result in paint damage.
[ NEVER use brake fluid which has
been exposed to open air for an
extended time, as its quality cannot
be guaranteed. It should be disposed
of properly.
[ Do not use the incorrect type of
brake fluid. A few drops of mineral
based oil, such as engine oil in your
brake system can damage brake
system parts.
Information
se only the specified brake fluid (refer
to Recommended ubricants and
Capacities section in chapter 2).
