IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.

Do not travel if the wind-
screen washer reservoir is
empty: using the windscreen washer
is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could cause
a fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid, which is
highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.

the surrounding surfaces.

dirt gets into the reservoir.

a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.
