BRAKE FLUID
Loosen plug A-fig. 12and check
that the level of the fluid in the reser-
voir is at the maximum
Check at regular intervals that the
level of the fluid in the reservoir is at
the maximum.
Use only DOT 4 fluid only for top-
ping up. We recommend TUTELA
TOP 4that the braking system was
originally filled with.
IMPORTANTBrake fluid is hy-
groscopic (meaning it absorbs humid-
ity). This is why the fluid should be
changed more frequently than shown
in the Service Schedule if the vehicle
is mainly driven in areas with a high
percentage of humidity in the air. Make sure that the
highly corrosive brake
fluid does not drip onto
the paintwork. If it does, wash it
off immediately with water.

The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid distinguishing it from
mineral fluid. Using mineral type
fluid would damage the special rub-
ber braking system gaskets beyond
repair.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous
and very corrosive. In the
event of accidental contact, wash
the affected part with water and
mild soap and rinse. If the fluid is
swallowed, call a doctor immedi-
ately.
