1 Answers
The solutions for when the brake light is on and the car won't start are: Check if the handbrake is released; inspect the brake fluid reservoir level; gently pump the brake pedal repeatedly; if there is a leak in the brake master cylinder or oil pipe, add brake fluid and drive to the nearest repair shop for maintenance. The method for replacing brake fluid is: Park the vehicle on level ground and turn off the engine, open the hood and drain the fluid from the reservoir; use a funnel to fill the reservoir with new brake fluid; go inside the car and pump the brake pedal until the fluid level in the reservoir under the hood reaches the lower limit. The replacement interval for brake fluid is approximately two years or 40,000 kilometers. The quality of brake fluid determines driving safety, so it is important to regularly check the condition of the brake fluid during daily use.
