1. All work on the brake system, including maintenance, requires a certain amount of experience and care. All replacement parts must be new and free from defects. Reusing brake fluid that has been drained from the system is prohibited; it must be replaced with fresh fluid.
2. If the brake warning light on the instrument panel comes on when the handbrake is released, check the brake fluid level immediately (see below). If the level is correct, check the handbrake warning light switch adjustment.
Every 7500 km or once every six months
3. Thoroughly clean the surface around the brake fluid reservoir cap, remove the cap and check the fluid level. Some tanks have transparent walls, and the fluid level can be checked without removing the cap. If necessary, add fresh fluid to the reservoir, taking into account that its level will increase after installing the plug with its switch and float. Check that the ventilation hole in the tank cap is not clogged. If you frequently need to top up the fluid, you should inspect the brake system for leaks. A slow and slight decrease in the level as the brake pads wear is normal.
Every 15,000 km or once a year
4. Inspect the front disc brake pads for wear (see section 8). Grooves should be visible on the pads, indicating that the friction layer has not worn out.
5. Remove the rubber inspection plugs from the rear drum brake support discs and inspect the brake linings for wear. If the thickness of at least one lining is less than 2.5 mm, all 4 linings must be replaced (see photo).
6. Check the operation of the handbrake. When you lift the lever up 6-8 clicks, the rear wheels should be locked.
7. Check the clearance between the fully depressed brake pedal and the floor to ensure that the pedal does not touch the floor.
Every 30,000 km or once every 2 years
8. Remove the rear brake drums and thoroughly clean them from dust, being careful not to inhale it. Inspect the brake linings for wear and to ensure they are not contaminated with oil or brake fluid. If at least one lining is contaminated or oily, all 4 brake pads must be replaced, but before this, the source of contamination must be found and eliminated (oiling).

9. Replace the brake fluid. Over time, its properties deteriorate as additives that prevent corrosion and slow down the destruction of seals are destroyed. In addition, the liquid absorbs moisture from the air (therefore, fresh brake fluid should be stored in tightly sealed containers). Moisture in brake fluid lowers its boiling point and reduces freeze resistance. Brake fluid should always be replaced at the specified intervals.
