Oils and fluids
Clutch and brake fluid reservoir
Clutch and brake fluid reservoir
The brake and clutch fluid have a common
reservoir
1 . The fluid level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. Check the level
regularly. Change the brake fluid every other
year or at every other regular service.
See capacities and recommended grade for
fluids and oils on page 241.
NOTE!
The fluid should be changed annually
on cars driven in conditions requiring hard,
frequent braking, such as driving in
mountains or tropical climates with high
humidity.
Power steering fluid reservoir
Power steering fluid reservoir
Check the level at every service. It is not
necessary to change the fluid. The level
should lie between the ADD and FULL marks.
See capacities and recommended grade for
fluids and oils on page 241.
NOTE!
It is possible to steer if a fault should
occur in the power steering system or if the
car loses electrical power and requires
towing. Bear in mind that steering will be
more difficult than normal and more force will
be required to turn the steering wheel.
1. Location dependent on whether car is
left or right-hand drive.
WARNING!
If the level of brake fluid in the reservoir is
below the MIN mark, the car should not be
driven until the brake fluid has been
topped up.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must
be investigated.
