What are the effects of insufficient brake fluid?

[Kayden]

"Brake fluid is a liquid that enhances the braking performance in a vehicle's transmission system. Insufficient brake fluid can lead to the car's inability to brake effectively. Below is a detailed introduction to the effects of insufficient brake fluid and precautions for its use: Effects: Brake fluid transmits the driver's braking force to the vehicle's brakes. The quality and proper use of brake fluid directly affect the vehicle's braking performance and driving safety. If the brake fluid is insufficient, do not continue driving, as air can enter the brake lines or wheel cylinders. Since air is compressible, it can cause insufficient pressure in the wheel cylinders, resulting in inadequate or failed braking. Precautions for brake fluid use: If gasoline, diesel, or windshield washer fluid mixes with the brake fluid, it can severely impair braking effectiveness, and the fluid should be replaced immediately. For vehicles driven normally for 40,000 kilometers or with brake fluid used continuously for over two years, the brake fluid may deteriorate due to prolonged use, so timely replacement is essential. Vehicles equipped with a brake fluid level warning device should have the warning light monitored regularly to ensure the sensor is functioning properly. When the brake fluid is low, it should be replenished promptly. Stored brake fluid should be maintained between the minimum and maximum capacity marks."
