1. Pull the release lever towards you tounlock the bonnet.
zMake sure that the engine and Plug-inHybrid EV system has cooled down beforeremoving the radiator cap and EV coolingsystem reserve tank cap, because hotsteam or boiling water otherwise will gushfrom the filler port and may scald you. zDo not smoke, cause sparks or allow openflames around fuel or auxiliary battery.The fumes are flammable. zBe extremely cautious when workingaround the auxiliary battery. It containspoisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid. zDo not get under your vehicle with just thebody jack supporting it. Always use auto-motive jack stands. zImproper handling of
components and
materials used in the vehicle can endangeryour personal safety. We recommend youto consult a specialist for necessary infor-mation. zThe components inside the engine roommight be very hot to the touch.To a v o i d b e i n g b u r n t , m a k e s u r e a l l c o m -ponents have sufficiently cooled beforebeginning an inspection.

The fluid level is monitored by a float. Whenthe fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of thebrake pads, but this does not indicate anyabnormality.The fluid in the master cylinder should bechecked when doing other work under the
bonnet. The brake system should also bechecked for leaks at the same time.If the fluid level falls markedly in a shortlength of time, it indicates leaks from thebrake system.If this occurs, we recommend you to have thevehicle checked.Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 orDOT4 from a sealed container. The brakefluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture inthe brake fluid will adversely affect the brakesystem, reducing the performance.
