Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data

The brake fluid reservoir is located on the left of the engine compartment.

The brake fluid reservoir on right-hand steering models is positioned on

the other side of the engine compartment.

– Switch the engine off.

– Open the bonnet ⇒ page 223, “Working in the engine compartment”.

– Inspect the brake fluid level in the reservoir ⇒ page 228, fig. 205. The

level must be between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings.

A slight drop in the fluid level results when driving due to normal wear-and-tear

and automatic adjustment of the brake pads, and is perfectly normal.

There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the fluid level

drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the “MIN” marking. A situ-

ation where the brake fluid level is too low is indicated by the warning light 

lighting up in the instrument cluster ⇒ page 41. In this case stop immediately and

do not drive any further! Obtain professional assistance.

WARNING

• Read and observe the warning notes ⇒ page 223 before working in the

engine compartment.

• If the fluid level has dropped below the MIN marking, do not drive any

further - risk of accident! Obtain professional assistance.

Replacing brake fluid

Brake fluid absorbs moisture. This causes the fluid to absorb moisture from the

surrounding air over a period of time. Excessive water in the brake fluid may be the

cause of corrosion in the brake system. The water content also lowers the boiling

point of the brake fluid. This is why brake fluid must be replaced every two

years.

One may only use new genuine brake fluid from Škoda Auto. The specification for

the brake fluid is “FMVSS 116 DOT 4”.

We recommend that you have the brake fluid replaced by an authorised Škoda

Service Partner as part of an Inspection Service.

WARNING

• Using old brake fluid can result in severe stress on the brakes because of

the formation of vapour bubbles in the brake system. This greatly impairs

the braking efficiency and thus also the safety of your vehicle.

• Brake fluid is toxic! It must therefore be kept safely in closed original

containers and well away from children and unauthorized persons.

Caution

Brake fluid damages the paintwork of the vehicle.

For the sake of the environment

In view of the problems involved with proper disposal of brake fluid, the special

tools and the professional knowledge required, you should have the brake fluid

replaced by authorised Škoda Service Partners.
