Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle includes a system and a method of monitoring a condition of a brake fluid. The system includes a first sensor configured to measure a fluid level of the brake fluid within a reservoir, a second sensor configured to measure a concentration of the brake fluid, a third sensor configured to measure a temperature of the brake fluid, and a processor. The processor is configured to estimate the condition of the brake fluid from the fluid level, the concentration and the temperature and send a signal to a display, the signal indicative of the condition of the brake fluid.
