To check brake fluid levels, start by locating the brake fluid reservoir under the hood; it’s usually near the back of the engine bay, labeled with a brake fluid icon. Clean the top of the reservoir to prevent contaminants from entering the brake system. Check the fluid level against the markings on the reservoir; it should be between the minimum and maximum lines. If it’s low, add the appropriate type of brake fluid as specified in your vehicle’s manual. Avoid overfilling, as brake fluid expands with heat, and excess fluid can leak or cause brake malfunction. Finally, the reservoir cap must be securely replaced to maintain proper pressure and prevent contamination. Regularly inspecting brake fluid helps ensure your brakes function effectively and safely.
