BRAKE FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Undo cap E and check that the liquid in the reservoir is
at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark.
If you do need to top up, use the brake fluid shown in the
“Fluids and lubricants” table (see “Technical Specifica-
tions”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap E and surrounding
surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets into
the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh of
0.12 mm or less for topping up.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this rea-
son, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a high de-
gree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced
at more frequent intervals than specified in the “Service
schedule”.

Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corro-
sive, from coming into contact with paint-
ed parts. Should this occur, immediately
wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corro-
sive. In the event of accidental contact,
wash the parts immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of water. In case of
swallowing, immediately call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol πon the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is different
from a mineral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid
will damage the special rubber seals of the brak-
ing system beyond repair.
