The symbol πon the
container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid distin-
guishing it from mineral fluid. Us-
ing mineral type fluid would
damage the special rubber brak-
ing system gaskets beyond re-
pair.
113CAR MAINTENANCE
Brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive.
Wash the concerned
parts immediately with water
and mild soap in the event of an
accidental contact. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed. If fluid has to be added, it is sug-
gested to use the brake fluid in table
"Fluids and lubricants" (see chapter
"Technical characteristics").
NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap
and the surrounding surface.
At plug opening, pay maximum at-
tention in order to prevent any impu-
rities from entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal
to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANTBrake fluid absorbs
moisture, for this reason, if the vehi-
cle is mainly used in areas with a high
degree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more fre-
quent intervals than specified in the
“Service schedule”.
Make sure that the
highly corrosive brake
fluid does not drip onto
the paintwork. If it does, wash it
off immediately with water.
