The tank for brake fluid is located in a motor compartment. The stopper of a tank is equipped with an air vent which should not be corked.

The transparent case of a tank allows to control the level of brake fluid outside.

Fig. 2-24. Check of level of brake fluid

Level of brake fluid has to be always between tags the MOVE and MIN (fig. 2-24).

Level of brake fluid can slightly decrease at operation of the car owing to wear of brake slips and automatic control of brake shoes. This quite normal phenomenon.

If the level of brake fluid considerably decreased for short term or became below MIN tag, most likely, tightness of the brake system is broken. About too low level of brake fluid in a tank the control lamp signals
