Show answer

Correct answer

  • AEl nivel del líquido puede bajar.The fluid level may drop.
Explanation

You must check the braking system, the pads, the discs and also the brake fluid regularly. If the brake fluid level drops, it may be because of a leak in the hydraulic circuit or because of brake pad wear, as the callipers have to close further to make up for it and so use more fluid.
