Range Rover Evoque: Brake/clutch fluid check

Seek qualified assistance immediately if brake pedal travel is unusually long or if there is any significant loss of brake fluid. Driving under such conditions could result in extended stopping distances or complete brake failure.
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental consumption of fluid is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highly inflammable. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with naked flames or other sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine).
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid level below the MIN mark.

If the quantity of fluid in the brake reservoir drops below the recommended level, a red warning lamp in the instrument panel will illuminate.

Note: If the warning lamp illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits by gently applying the brakes.
Check and top-up the fluid level if necessary.

With the vehicle on level ground, check the fluid level at least every week (more frequently in high mileage or arduous operating conditions).

Right hand drive:

1. Release the catch and pull forwards.

2. Pull up to release and lift the cover clear.

3. Clean the filler cap before removing to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.

Remove the cap.

The brake fluid level should be between the MIN and the MAX marks.

Left hand drive:

1. Remove the battery cover. Turn the four fasteners 90 degrees counter-clockwise to release.

2. Lift the cover clear.

3. Clean the filler cap before removing to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.

Remove the cap.

The brake fluid level should be between the MIN and the MAX marks.

Note: The fluid level may drop slightly during normal use as a result of brake pad wear, but should not be allowed to drop below the MIN mark.
