Auxiliary warning system components - removal and refitting
General
1 This system monitors the fluid levels and
front brake pads for excessive wear. In the
event of a fluid level dropping below the
specified level, or the brake pads wearing
down to the minimum allowable thickness, the
driver is warned of the particular malfunction
by means of a warning lamp.
