Brake fluid
Brake fluid level
The fluid lev el in the reservoir must be
neither higher than the MAX mark nor
low er than the M IN m ark.
The use of certain brak e fluids can cause
dam age or loss of braking power. We
therefore rec om mend the use of high-
performa nc e brak e fluid that has been
app rov ed.
When topping up, ensure maximum clean-
liness as conta mina tion of the brake fluid
can lead to function problems in the
brak ing system.
After c orrecting the brak e fluid level, have
a work shop eliminate the cause of the
brak e fluid loss.
