BRAKE FLUID CHECK

The fluid level will drop slowly as the

brakes wear, and will rise when the

brake components are replaced. Fluid

levels between the MIN and MAX

lines are within the normal operating

range; there is no need to add fluid.

If the fluid levels are outside of the

normal operating range, the

performance of the system could be

compromised; seek service from your

authorized dealer immediately.

Note: Keep brake fluid clean. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum

products or other materials may result in brake system damage and

possible failure.

Checking single-speed transmission

The transmission does not have an underhood transmission fluid dipstick.

Your transmission does not consume fluid. It is designed to be filled for

life. However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not

working properly, or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Note: Transmission fluid should be checked and, if required, fluid should

be added by an authorized dealer.

Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or

cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission

operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.

VEHICLE STORAGE

If you plan on storing your vehicle for an extended period of time

(30 days or more), refer to the following maintenance recommendations

to ensure your vehicle stays in good operating condition.

All motor vehicles and their components were engineered and tested for

reliable, regular driving. Long term storage under various conditions may

lead to component degradation or failure unless specific precautions are

taken to preserve the components.

General

• Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated place.

• Protect from sunlight, if possible.

• If vehicles are stored outside, they require regular maintenance to

protect against rust and damage.
