In a passenger car, where is the brake fluid reservoir usually located?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The brake fluid reservoir is located under the hood, inside the engine compartment. This location is necessary because it must be accessible for the driver to perform basic maintenance and visually check the levels (the container is usually semi-transparent with 'maximum' and 'minimum' marks). It is not located on the dashboard (where only the warning light would appear if the level is low) nor in the trunk, as technically it needs to be close to the brake master cylinder and the brake booster.
