levelS (2/3)
Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. This
should be checked frequently, and im -
mediately if you notice even the slight-
est loss in braking efficiency. level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the
Min line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website. t
opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
2
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
