BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark).
If the fluid level in the tank is too low, undo reservoir
cap D (see previous pages) and add the fluid
described in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir and
the surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that impurities do not
enter the reservoir when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated
filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at
more frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. If contact accidentally occurs,
immediately wash the affected areas with
water and a neutral detergent , and then rinse
thoroughly with water. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol
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 braking system beyond
repair.
