WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUIDIf the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D and add the fluid described in
the chapter "Technical Specifications".
IMPORTANT The headlight washer system will not operate when the
fluid level is low, even though the windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. On some versions/markets there is a reference
notch E on the dipstick (see previous pages): ONLY the windscreen/
rear window wiper operates beneath with the level below this
reference.
Do not travel with the windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of the system
without fluid could damage or cause rapid deterioration of some
system components.Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable: the engine compartment contains hot parts
which could cause a fire on contact.
BRAKE FLUIDCheck that the fluid is at the maximum level. If the fluid level in the
reservoir is too low, undo reservoir cap E and add the fluid described
in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the
event of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and neutral soap, then rinse
with plenty of water. Consult a doctor immediately if you
swallow the fluid.The symbol
on the container indicates a synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the mineral type.
Using a mineral-type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system beyond repair.
