INSPECTION  

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 
2. Inspect the fluid level using the scale on the outside of the reservoir tank. If the level is below "MIN", add fluid to bring it up to "MAX", and also

inspect for leakage.

Cover the bleeder with cloth to prevent brake fluid from being splashed on surrounding parts when loosening the bleeder.

^

Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to prevent the quality of fluid from degrading.
