NOTElThe washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if soequipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*
E01000801902
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share thereservoir tank.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake
fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the performance.
WARNINGl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and will damage painted surfaces. Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid
gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush immediately with clean water. Follow up
with a doctor as necessary.CAUTIONl Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Battery
