VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
231
To avoid damaging the
pump motor, do not use
the windscreen/rearscreen
washers when the reservoir is
empty.
IMPORTANT
Brake and hydraulic clutch
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 hu-
midity, the fluid should be replaced at more
frequent intervals than specified in the
Scheduled Maintenance Programme.

the reservoir.

ter and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35
fluid as follows:
– 30% of
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35
and 70% water in summer;
– 50% of
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL

and 50% water in winter;

The
π
symbol on the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from
the mineral kind. Using mineral flu-
ids irreversibly damages the spe-
cial braking system rubber seals.
WARNING
Brake and clutch fluid is
poisonous and highly cor-
rosive. In the event of accidental
contact, wash the parts concerned
immediately with neutral soap and
water, then rinse thoroughly. See
a doctor at once if the fluid is swal-
lowed.
WARNING
Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reser-
voir empty: the action of the wind-
screen washer is fundamental for
improving vision.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.
