When checking the level of brake fluid in the reservoir, do not forget to also check the correct operation of the emergency brake fluid 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 control lamp of the emergency state of the working brake system lights up when the fluid level in the reservoir drops below the mark «MIN», which, with new or partially worn brake pad linings, indicates fluid leakage due to depressurization of the system. In this case, top up the liquid only after restoring the tightness of the system.
To identify and eliminate the causes of depressurization of the brake system, immediately contact your dealer CJSC «GM - AVTOVAZ».
When operating the vehicle, pay special attention to the condition of the flexible hoses, as they are exposed to water, dirt, sand and salt. In case of detection of small cracks on the outer sheath of the hose or swelling when pressing the brake pedal, it is necessary to replace the hose 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 parts of the service brake system.
Carry out work on replacing brake hoses and brake fluid at a ZAO dealer «GM - AVTOVAZ».
Warning. Brake fluid is poisonous! It should be stored in a tightly closed container and out of the reach of children.
Attention. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the paintwork of the body - this may damage it.
Warning. In case of malfunctions in the brake system, use the services of a tow truck.
