cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals:
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Brake fluid
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency. Level
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop lower than the
“MIN” warn-
ing line on the reservoir 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s web site.

coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–
protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool -
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
