Toyota RAV4 (XA50) 2019-2026 Owners Manual: Checking and adding the brake fluid

â–  Checking fluid level

The brake fluid level should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines on the tank.

â–  Adding fluid

1. Slide and lift up the rubber strip to partly remove it as shown.

2. Disconnect the claws and remove the service cover.

3. Remove the reservoir cap.

4. Add brake fluid slowly while checking the fluid level.

Make sure to check the fluid type and prepare the necessary item.

â– Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air

Excess moisture in the brake fluid can cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency. Use only newly opened brake fluid.

WARNING

â– When filling the reservoir

Take care as brake fluid can harm your hands and eyes and damage painted surfaces.

If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.

NOTICE

â– If the fluid level is low or high

It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear out or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.

If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, there may be a serious problem.
