Brake fluid reservoir

Brake fluid reservoir


The brake fluid reservoir is divided into two chambers:


A chamber for supplying the front left wheel and rear right wheel (primary circuit)

A chamber for supplying the front right wheel and rear left wheel (secondary circuit).

A chamber for supplying the connection cylinder on cars with Sensonic.

A fluid level indicator is incorporated into the cap of the brake fluid reservoir. This consists of a float and two contact pins. When the brake fluid level is low, the float sinks causing the switch contacts to make and activate the brake warning light (this happens when the level has sunk to approx. a third from full level). At ignignition the lamp is grounded by the generator, activating the lamp. When the engine starts and the generator begins to charge, the lamp goes off, if the brake fluid level is correct. This way the warning like is checked every time the ignition key is turned.
