When checking the brake fluid level in the reservoir, do not forget to also check the correct operation of the brake fluid emergency level sensor. To do this, with the ignition on, press the central part of the protective cap 3 from above - the control lamp in the instrument cluster should light up.
Attention. The brake system emergency status indicator lamp lights up when the fluid level in the reservoir drops below the "MIN" mark, which, with new or partially worn brake shoe linings, indicates a fluid leak due to a system leak. In this case, add fluid only after the system has been sealed.
To identify and eliminate the causes of brake system depressurization, immediately contact your GM-AVTOVAZ dealer.
When operating the vehicle, pay special attention to the condition of the flexible hoses, as they are exposed to water, dirt, sand and salt. If small cracks are found on the outer shell of the hose or if swelling occurs when pressing the brake pedal, the hose must be replaced with a new one.
After three years of operation, the brake fluid in the system must be replaced. This is due to the fact that the brake fluid absorbs moisture from the environment, which leads to a decrease in its boiling point. In addition, the water content can cause corrosion of the parts of the working brake system.
Work on replacing brake hoses and brake fluid should be performed by a dealer of ZAO GM - AVTOVAZ.
Warning: Brake fluid is poisonous! Keep it in a tightly closed container and out of the reach of children.
Caution: Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the paintwork of the car body - this may cause damage.
Warning: If there is a problem with the brake system, use a tow truck.
