It is in your own interest to have the brakes checked
regularly by your Fiat workshop.
For further information, please refer to the Fiat Ducato
operating instructions.
12.2 Brakes
The components in the brake system are part of the General
Type Approval (“Allgemeinen Betriebserlaubnis“, ABE).
If you change the components in the brake system, the type
approval expires. Any changes are only possible if they have
been released by the manufacturer.
The following applies when maintaining the brake system
• Check the level of brake fluid regularly.
• Check the brake system and brake hoses regularly for lea
-
kage. Rodents often gnaw at rubber hoses.
• Use only brake fluids with the same qualities as those
fluids already in the brake circuit.
