To check the brake fluid level indicator, you need to periodically press on the small corrugated rubber cover on the brake fluid reservoir lid (shown by arrow). The assistant inside the car should monitor whether the indicator is working. The parking brake lever should be released.
This indicator informs about the decrease of the brake fluid level. For this purpose the brake fluid reservoir cap is equipped with a float and a contact switch. Additionally, there is a contact switch in the parking brake lever, which lights the red indicator when the parking brake lever is pulled.
Possible malfunctions
- If the indicator does not light, the lamp may be faulty.
- If the indicator does not go out, then first you need to check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If everything is OK there, check whether the released parking brake lever presses the contact switch pin down, if not, the contact switch should be replaced.
