Make sure the highly cor-
rosive brake fluid does not
drip onto the paintwork. If
it does, wash it off immediately
with water.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygro-
scopic (meaning it absorbs humidity).
This is why the fluid should be
changed more frequently than shown
in the Service Schedule if the car is
mainly driven in areas with a high
percentage of humidity in the air.

The brake fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. If it
accidentally comes into
contact with the skin, wash with
neutral soap and water, then rinse
copiously. If swallowed, contact a
doctor immediately.
If you often drive on
dusty roads, the filter will
require changing more fre-
quently than indicated in the Ser-
vice Schedule.
Any cleaning operations
on the filter could damage
it, causing serious damage
to the engine.
