Level check is carried out at the switched-off engine on the car stopped on a horizontal surface.
Attention: When working in the immediate vicinity of the engine, be aware that it may be hot. Also remember that the cooling fan can turn on at any time. There is a risk of injury.
Level check
Under normal conditions, the level drops as the brake pads wear, but it should never fall below the lower mark «MINI» on the brake fluid reservoir (1).
If you want to check the degree of wear of brake discs and drums yourself, please refer to the necessary documentation (describing the verification method) to the dealer network or go to our website.
Note: If an abnormal drop in level is found, contact the manufacturer's service station.
Topping up liquid
After carrying out any work on the hydraulic system, the liquid in it must be replaced (see the relevant chapter of this manual).
Use only fluid grades approved by the technical departments in hermetically sealed containers.
Note: Replacement interval: see service book or maintenance and warranty card.
