Front brake fluid reservoir, upper level line Lower level line
The brake fluid level in the reservoirs must be kept between the upper and lower level lines (reservoir held horizontal). To inspect the fluid level, check the level of fluid visible in the window at the front of the reservoir body. To adjust the fluid level, loosen the cap screws and detach the cover noting the position of the sealing diaphragm. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container. Reinstall the cover, ensuring that the diaphragm seal is correctly positioned between the cap and reservoir body. Tighten the cap retaining screws to 9 lbf in (1 Nm).
