BRAKE FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
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 π on 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.

RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, stick closely to the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in
this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of fluid
in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful inspections are
therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using appropriate
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recom-
mended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In any event, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:
❒ make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the wind-
screen in sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents the electric motor from
overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen and the rear window
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

LEATHER UPHOLSTERED STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR KNOB/HANDBRAKE LEVER
(for versions/market, where provided)
These components must be cleaned with mild soap and
water only. Never use spirits or alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully before using specific prod-
ucts for cleaning the interiors: make sure the product does
not contain spirits or alcohol-based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with special products,
window cleaner accidentally drips onto the leather of the
steering wheel/gear lever knob/hand brake, wipe away im-
mediately and then wash the affected area with mild soap
and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when installing a steering wheel
locking device not to damage the leather upholstery.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a damp brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge and a solution of water and
mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
To remove grease and tough stains, use products designed
specifically for cleaning plastics. These have no solvents
and have been designed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to clean the
instrument panel glass.
