BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too
low, undo reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and
add the fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E
and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than
0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, 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”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact
with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. If contact accidentally
occurs, immediately wash the affected areas
with water and a neutral detergent, and
then rinse thoroughly with water. Call
a doctor immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol
on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
distinguishing it from the mineral kind.
Using a mineral-type fluid will damage the
special rubber seals of the braking system
beyond repair.
