Check And Adjust Brake Fluid Level In Reservoir

After performing accumulator zero down (accumulator depressurizing), adjust the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX level.

NOTE:
If using a dropper to adjust the fluid amount, make sure the dropper has not been used with mineral oils, water or deteriorated brake fluid. Sealed areas may deteriorate and lead to fluid leaks, or the fluid may deteriorate and lead to decreased efficiency.

HINT:
- After performing accumulator zero down (accumulator depressurizing), if the power switch is turned ON (IG), the fluid level in the accumulator increases, and the fluid level in the reservoir decreases.
- If the fluid level is adjusted without performing accumulator zero down (accumulator depressurizing), fluid is sent from the accumulator to the reservoir. The fluid level may exceed the MAX level, but it is normal.
After turning the power switch ON (IG), check that the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir is slightly lower than the MAX level.
