Adding fluid

Turn the engine switch off.

Depress the brake pedal 40 times or more.

Remove the reservoir cap.

Add newly opened brake fluid up to the “MAX” line.

■

rake fluid absorbs moisture from the air

Excess moisture in the fluid can cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency. Use

only newly opened brake fluid.

CAUTION

■

When filling the reservoir

Be careful because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage painted

surfaces.

If fluid gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water immediately.

If you still experience discomfort, seek medical attention.

NOTICE

■

If the fluid level is low or high

It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear or

when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.

If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious mechanical problem.

Have the system checked by your Lexus dealer.
