192 Maintenance, Car Care<br />

Checking the brake fluid level<br />

The reservoir for the hydraulic braking and clutch<br />

systems is located in the luggage compartment.<br />

1. Open and remove cover flap A.<br />

2. Regularly check the brake-fluid level on the<br />

transparent expansion tank through the<br />

window B.<br />

The fluid level should always lie between the<br />

minimum and maximum marks.<br />

A slight decrease in the fluid level due to wear and<br />

automatic readjustment of the disc brakes is<br />

normal.<br />

If, however, the fluid level falls markedly or below<br />

the minimum mark, the braking system may have<br />

developed a leak.<br />

f Have the brake system checked without delay<br />

at an authorized Porsche dealer.
