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 mainlyused 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”.
fig. 7F0R0138m
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 is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the case
of accidental contact, wash the parts
with water and mild soap and rinse
with plenty of water. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
Symbol on the contain in-
dicates a synthetic brake flu-
id, which is different from a mineral
fluid. Use of a mineral type fluid will
damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.
WARNINGBRAKE FLUID fig. 7
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”).
