NOTE Carefully clean the cap of reservoir
Aand the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
For topping up always use a funnel with
built in filter (mesh smaller than or equal
to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Service schedule”. Check level through the reservoir.
fig. 11F0R0138m
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washing reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is fun-
damental to improve visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial wind-
screen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could start
a fire if they come into contact.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid which is
highly corrosive from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.
BRAKE FLUID fig. 11
Release cap A: check that the liquid con-
tained in the tank is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not ex-
ceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids
and lubricants” table (see “Technical Spec-
ifications”).
