CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
Hydraulic steering system oil
The level check must be carried out with
the engine warm, after having travelled at
least 15 Km, and with the vehicle parked
on a flat ground.
Remove the cap
D from the tank in the
engine compartment and check that
the level is between the
MIN and MAX
notches on the dipstick.
The oil level check must be carried out
with the cap resting on the tank.
Top up if necessary with the
recommended oil up to the
MAX level.
Screw the cap D back on tightly.
The symbol B on the tank indicates that
the system contains synthetic fluid.
CAUTION
The use of mineral-based fluids will
damage the system’s rubber gaskets
beyond repair.
Do not use fluids other than those
already contained in the system for
topping up.
• When the system has been topped up,
screw the cap back on and reconnect
the electric system.
Brake/clutch oil
• Check that the fluid in the tank is near
the
MAX level.
• If the level is low, unscrew the cap A
and top up with the recommended oil,
taken from a sealed container.
CAUTION
The oil contained in the brake and
clutch systems, besides damaging
plastic, rubber and painted parts,
is highly dangerous if it comes into
contact with the eyes or the skin.
In case of contact, wash the affected
part thoroughly with running
water. To avoid any risk, always use
protective goggles and gloves.
Keep away from children!
Never dispose of used fluid in the
environment!
On vehicles equipped with “F1” gearbox,
the tank supplies the braking system only.
