Can a car with insufficient brake fluid still be driven?
1 Answers
A car with insufficient brake fluid is not recommended to be driven. Driving with insufficient brake fluid poses certain dangers, and the brake fluid must be filled above the lower mark. Insufficient brake fluid can lead to poor braking system performance, resulting in reduced braking force, extended braking distance, and even brake failure. The following situations require replacing the brake fluid: 1. Accidentally mixing gasoline, diesel oil, or windshield washer fluid into the brake fluid can significantly affect braking performance; 2. The vehicle has been driven normally for 40,000 kilometers or the brake fluid has been in continuous use for more than 2 years, causing the brake fluid to deteriorate over time; 3. The warning light on vehicles equipped with a brake fluid level warning device is illuminated; 4. Mixing different brands and types of brake fluid.
