Location of the brake fluid reservoir

Checking the level

The fluid reservoir is concealed under the round cover at the rear of the engine compartment.

The round cover must be removed first before the reservoir cap can be accessed.

The brake fluid should always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the inside of the reservoir.

Check, without removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.
