BRAKE-CLUTCH FLUID RESERVOIR

Checking low brake fluid warning light

NOTE At intervals, check warning light operation by pressing down on the top edge of the reservoir cover (arrowed). The brake system warning light should come on when the ignition is turned to MAR.

Removing-refitting

Proceed as follows to remove the brake fluid reservoir:

  1. Disconnect the connector of the fluid level sensor and remove the reservoir cap, then drain the brake fluid from the reservoir using a syringe.
  2. Disconnect both brake pipes and the hydraulic clutch pipe from the reservoir.
  3. Unscrew the bolt retaining the reservoir to the body and remove from the vehicle.

Take care the fluid remaining in the reservoir does not leak out.

NOTE Carry out removal operations in reverse order to refit the brake and clutch reservoir.

Before filling the tank, ensure it is extremely clean.
