Checking the level and topping up the brake fluid in the hydraulic reservoir of the brake system Chevrolet Cruze J300 (2008 - 2016) Gasoline

Parts and consumables:

• Brake fluid
• rags

Note:

The reservoir of the main brake cylinder is located on the right in the rear of the engine compartment.

1.  The level of the brake fluid is determined by the walls of the reservoir of the main brake cylinder, on which the marks of the minimum "MIN" and maximum "MAX" levels of the working fluid are indicated (for clarity, it is shown on the removed reservoir). The surface of the liquid should be between these marks, closer to the maximum.

2.  When the level approaches the minimum mark, it is necessary to add brake fluid. To do this, unscrew the cap of the reservoir of the hydraulic drive of the brake system.

3.  Carefully add hydraulic fluid to the correct level.

Warning:

Brake fluid is highly toxic and can damage other vehicle parts. Do not spill it on body parts.  If liquid has spilled onto other components, wipe it off immediately with a clean rag.

4. Wrap a stopper of a reservoir of the main brake cylinder.

Warnings:

Use only the type of brake fluid that is already filled into the brake system.

It is forbidden to operate the car if the fluid level has dropped below the minimum mark. This can lead to failure of the brake system and saturation of the working fluid with gases. Always add fluid in a timely manner. 

If you constantly have to add brake fluid, check the tightness of the brake system, there may be a leak somewhere.

Useful advice:

As a rule, the type of fluid used is indicated on the tank cap.
