Brake Fluid Reservoir With Level Switch
- Chambers
- Plastic floats
The brake fluid reservoir comprises two chambers (1), one on each brake circuit, which are filled with brake fluid. In the event of a rupture in one of the brake circuits, only some of the brake fluid in the system can escape. The remaining brake fluid acts on the operating brake circuit.
The reservoir contains a level function for detecting brake fluid loss in the brake system. The plastic float (2) floats on the brake fluid. This closes the connector on the switch when the brake fluid level drops below the MIN level on the reservoir. The stop (brake) warning lamp lights on the driver information module (DIM). The float and the switch are integrated with the container and cannot be replaced.
