Brake Fluid

Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the brake fluid level before each operation. If the level drops between fluid checks, add brake fluid as needed. Your authorized GEM dealer can provide service.

  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

  2. Open the hood. The brake fluid reservoir is located on the driver’s side of the vehicle, above and to the rear of the front tire.

  3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the upper (MAX) 1 and lower (MIN) 2 level lines.

  4. If the fluid level is lower than the upper level line, add brake fluid to the upper (MAX) line.

  5. Apply the brake forcefully for the few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown. Always use DOT4 brake fluid.

WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury.
NOTICE
Brake fluid may cause damage to painted and finished surfaces. Use caution when refilling the brake fluid reservoir.
