Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. This
should be checked frequently, and im -
mediately if you notice even the slight-
est loss in braking efficiency.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
t opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Level 3
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the MIn line.
If you wish to check the disc wear your-
self, you should obtain the document
explaining the checking procedure from
our network or from the manufacturer’s
website.
LeveLs (2/2)
The engine may be hot
