Checking the brake fluid level Nissan X-Trail

Note:

Try to check the brake fluid level on the Nissan X-Trail before each trip of the car, and, if necessary, add fluid to the reservoir. 

The vehicle uses a  DOT-3 or DOT-4 type of brake fluid.

Checking the brake fluid level Nissan X-Trail

1. Place the car on a level surface, and turn off the ignition.

2. Raise the hood cover and fix it with an emphasis. The brake fluid reservoir is located in the rear of the engine compartment, near the air filter housing (if you are standing in front of the car).

3. Visually check the brake fluid level on the Nissan X-Trail. It should be between the MAX and MIN marks on the side wall of the tank.

4. If the fluid level is below the  MIN mark , you will need to top up the brake fluid.

Adding Brake Fluid Nissan X-Trail

1. Wipe the reservoir cap thoroughly with a clean cloth.

2. Unscrew and remove the cover.

3. Through a funnel, add brake fluid to the Nissan X-Trail reservoir up to the  MAX mark.

Note:

Add only fresh brake fluid recommended by the manufacturer.

4. Screw on the reservoir cap tightly. If brake fluid is spilled on wires, painted or plastic body parts, wipe them off immediately with a clean rag.

Note:

A gradual decrease in the level of brake fluid in the Nissan X-Trail reservoir in the absence of leaks most likely indicates the need to replace the brake pads. We recommend checking their condition.
