IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this
reason, if the vehicle 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”.
BRAKE FLUID fig. 170
Undo the cap A and check that the liquid contained in
the reservoir is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubricants”
table (see “Technical Specifications”).
Note Carefully clean the cap of the reservoir A and the
surrounding surface.
Take great care that impurities do not enter the
reservoir when the cap is opened.
For topping up always use a funnel with integrated filter
that has a mesh inferior or equal to 0.12 mm.
Prevent brake fluid which is highly
corrosive from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should this occur,
immediately wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected parts
with water and neutral soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. If swallowed call a doctor
