Fluid specification
The
 
brake
 
fluid
 
must
 
conform
 
to
 
the
 
manufacturer's

  recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering  fluid  level should
 be  close  to  the  "MAX" mark.

 
With

The coolant level  should  be  close
 to  the  "MAX"  mark  but  
should

  never   exceed   it.
When
 
the
 
engine
 
is
 
warm,
 
the
 
temperature

 
of
 
the
 
coolant
 
is
 
regulated
 
by

 
the
 
fan.
In
 
addition,
 
as
 
the
 
cooling
 
system

care with articles and clothing
that might be caught by the
fan blades.
The
 brake
 fluid
 level

brakes
 
checked,
 
even
 
between

 
vehicle   services.
Unless
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
leak
 
in
 
the
 
circuit,
 
a
 
drop

 
in

 
the
 
brake
 
fluid
 
level
 
indicates
 
that

 
the
 
brake   pads   are   worn.
