VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
259
Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reser-
voir empty: the action of
the windscreen washer is funda-
mental for improving vision.
To avoid damaging the
pump motor, do not use the
windscreen/rearscreen
washers when the reservoir is
empty.
Some commercial addi-
tives for windscreen wash-
ers are inflammable. The
engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on
fire.
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 humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the Scheduled Maintenance
Programme.

Open the cap (
A
) and check the level in
the reservoir.
If necessary top up using a mixture of
water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35
fluid as follows:
– 30% of
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35
and 70% water in summer;
– 50% of
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35
and 50% water in winter;
– in the case of temperatures below -
20°C use
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35
fluid neat.
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 swallowed.
The
π
symbol on the
container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid, distin-
guishing it from the mineral kind.
Using mineral fluids irreversibly
damages the special braking sys-
tem rubber seals.
