Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn. The
gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for the
