Brake Line

  1. Check for scratches, swelling, corrosion, traces of fluid leakage on the brake hoses or pipe joints.
  2. Make sure that brake pipes/hoses do not interfere with adjacent parts and there is no loose connector/clamp during driving.
  3. Check any trace of fluid leakage, scratches, etc. on master cylinder, wheel cylinder and hydraulic unit.
NOTE:
  • When the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank is lower than specified limit, the brake warning light on the combination meter will illuminate.
  • Visually check the brake hose for damage. (Use a mirror where it is difficult to see)
