how to check the brake fluid level on my Volvo XC60 536 (2017-Present)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools: clean rags, funnel, and new brake fluid if needed.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Locate the Brake Fluid Reservoir

• Open the hood and secure it.
• Identify the brake fluid reservoir; it is typically located near the back of the engine bay on the driver's side.

3. Check Fluid Level

• Visually inspect the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.
• If the fluid is below the "MIN" mark, proceed to the next step to add fluid.

4. Add Brake Fluid

• Wipe the reservoir cap with a clean rag to prevent contamination.
• Carefully unscrew the cap and set it aside.
• Using a funnel, add the recommended brake fluid (typically DOT 4 for Volvo vehicles) until it reaches the "MAX" mark.
• Replace and securely tighten the reservoir cap.

5. Clean Up

• Wipe any spilled brake fluid immediately, as it can damage paint and other surfaces.
• Dispose of the old fluid and any used rags according to local regulations.
