IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this rea-
son, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at
more frequent intervals than specified in the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan”.
BRAKE FLUID fig. 206
Undo the cap A and check that the liquid contained in the
reservoir is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark.
If you do need to top up, use the brake fluid shown in the
“Fluids and lubricants” table (see “Technical Specifica-
tions”).
NB
Carefully clean the reservoir cap A and the sur-
rounding surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets into
the reservoir.
For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter
that has a mesh inferior or equal to 0.12 mm.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corro-
sive, from coming into contact with paint-
ed parts. Should this occur, immediately
wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corro-
sive. In the event of accidental contact,
wash the parts immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of water. In case of
swallowing, immediately call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol
π
on the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is different
from a mineral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid
will damage the special rubber seals of the brak-
ing system beyond repair.
