Inspecting the Brake Fluid
WARNING
If the brake fluid level is low, have the
brakes inspected.
A low brake fluid level is dangerous. A
low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between
the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake linings. If
it is excessively low, have the brake
system inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Before inspecting the brake fluid,
remove the hole cover.
