 Let the engine run for 1 to 2 minutes and 

stop it. If the brake pedal stroke is shortened 

as pumping the brake pedal, the system is 

normal. If not, the system is defective.

Depress the brake pedal several times with 

engine off. If the brake goes down when 

starting engine with pedal depressed, the 

system is normal. If not, the system is 

defective.

Depress the brake pedal when the engine is 

running. If the pedal height is not changed for 

30 seconds after stopping the engine, the 

system is normal. If not, the system is 

defective.

Brake Fluid

Brake Fluid Type

▶

1. Color

Ligh gold (New oil) → Brown → Black

-

2. Service Interval/Type

Change: every 2 years, Type: DOT4

The water in the brake fluid has an adverse effect to the brake system. If the fluid contains 

around 3% of water, the boiling point of the brake fluid goes down by 25%. It will cause the vapor 

lock frequently.

Water content in fluid: around 3% after 18 months, around 7~10% after few years

The water ib fluid makes the corrosion in the brake lines, deforms and deteriorates the rubber 

components, brake calipers and pistons.

-

DOT4: Brake fluid for premium vehicle. Lower water absorbing rate AND higher boiling point than 

DOT3

Brake Fluid Level Check

▶

The brake fluid level should be between "MAX" 

and "MIN" on the reservoir. If it is below "MIN" 

mark, check for oil leaks and refill the reservoir 

with the specified fluid.

Install the dial gauge on the side of brake 

disc and measure the run-out while rotating 

the brake disc.

If the measured value exceeds the limit, 

replace the brake disc with new one. 

Otherwise, it may cause the pedal vibration 

and shimmy when braking.
