 w

ait
 
at
 
least   one   hour   after   switching   off   the
 e

ngine
 
before   carrying   out   any   work.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap
 b

y
 
two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.   When
 t

he
 
pressure   has   dropped,   remove   the   cap   and

Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case  
o

f   vehicles   used   in   town,   over   short  
d

istances.   It   may   be   necessary   to  
h

ave
 
the
 
condition   of   the   brakes   checked,   even  
b

etween
 v
ehicle
 s
ervices.
Unless
 
there   is   a   leak   in   the   circuit,   a   drop   in  
t

he
 
brake
  fluid   level   indicates   that   the   brake
