268 Vehicle care
The level should be between the
MIN and MAX area.
If the fl uid level is correct, do not
remove the reservoir cap, as brake
fl uid exposed to the atmosphere will
quickly absorb moisture.
Adding clutch/brake fl uid
Use heavy duty brake fl uid. See
Recommended fl uids, lubricants and
parts on page 319 .
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Wipe the sides of the cap clean.
3. Rotate anticlockwise to remove.
4. Top up with heavy duty
brake fl uid.
Warning
Use only new brake fl uid. Use of
old, used or inferior brake fl uid
may endanger the functioning of
the brake system.
5. Secure the cap and clean up any
spilt fl uid.
If the clutch/brake fl uid requires
regular topping up, contact a Holden
Dealer immediately.
Battery
Warning
Batteries emit an explosive gas
mixture which may be ignited.
Therefore, you should keep
sparks and fl ames away from the
battery at all times. Never smoke
near a battery.
Batteries contain sulphuric acid.
If acid contacts skin or clothing,
fl ush immediately with plenty of
water. In case of eye contact,
fl ush with plenty of water and
contact a doctor immediately.
Battery acid also damages paint
and fabrics. To minimise damage,
wash off immediately.
Take care with all metal objects
and tools including items you
may wear (for example jewellery,
rings and metal watch bands)
near battery terminals.
