BRAKE FLUID fig. 1-2
Undo the cap E: and check that the
liquid contained in the reservoir is
at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in
the “Fluids and lubricants” table
(see section “Technical Specifications”)
to top up.
Note Carefully clean the cap of
reservoir E and the surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
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 “Service schedule”.
Prevent brake fluid which
is highly corrosive from
coming into contact with
painted parts. Should this
occur, immediately wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive.
In the event of accidental contact,
immediately wash the affected
parts with water and neutral soap.
Then rinse thoroughly. In case
of swallowing immediately call
a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol π, on the
container, indicates a
synthetic brake fluid, which is
different from a mineral fluid.
Use of a mineral type fluid will
damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.
