Audi Q5: Brake fluid

Checking brake fluid level

The brake fluid level can be checked with a quick glance.

Checking and Filling
Fig. 201 Engine compartment: cover on the brake fluid reservoir

Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always read and heed all WARNINGS.

  • Read the brake fluid level from the brake fluid reservoir > fig. 201, > fig. 197. The brake fluid Level must be between the "MIN" and "MAX" markings.

The brake fluid reservoir is located at the rear partition of the engine compartment on the left side.

The fluid level may drop slightly after some time due to the automatic adjustment of the brake pads. This is not cause for alarm.

If the brake fluid level falls considerably below the ''MIN" mark, the brake warning/indicator light (U.S. models: , Canadian models: ) will come on. Do not continue to operate the vehicle. The complete brake system should be thoroughly checked by an authorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop and the cause corrected. If the brake fluid level is too low, the brake warning/indicator light will illuminate.

Contact an authorized Audi dealer immediately.
