Brake fluid replacement
The brake fluid requires replacement every two years, irrespective
of the distance the car has travelled. Normally, the brake fluid
change indicator on the instrument panel will commence
illuminating (for four seconds every time the starter switch is
initially turned to the second position) as soon as each two year
period has elapsed (see ‘Service interval display (3)’, page 75).
However, if an impending oil service or inspection falls due within
a period of up to 180 days prior to the brake fluid change
becoming due, then the indicator will illuminate earlier. This will
enable the dealer to combine the brake fluid change with the oil
service or inspection, thereby avoiding the need for an additional
dealer visit.
NOTE: Brake fluid replacement will be an additional cost.
Coolant replacement
The engine coolant (anti-freeze and water solution) needs to be
replaced every four years regardless of the distance the car has
travelled. Your dealer will replace the coolant at the scheduled oil
service or inspection nearest to the conclusion of each four year
period, to avoid the need for an additional dealer visit.
NOTE: Coolant replacement will be an additional cost.
EMISSION CONTROL
Your car is fitted with emission and evaporative control equipment
designed to meet specific territorial and legal requirements. You
should be aware that unauthorised replacement, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or motor vehicle
repairer could be unlawful and subject to legal penalties.
In addition, engine settings must not be tampered with. These
have been established to ensure that your car complies with
stringent exhaust emission regulations. Incorrect engine settings
may adversely affect exhaust emissions, engine performance and
fuel consumption, as well as causing high temperatures, which
could result in damage to the catalytic converters and engine.
