Hydraulic Steering
If the hydraulic steering is correctly operating
there is few or no need to top up the
reservoir. If there is a sudden or continuous
level fall, the car should be checked by an
authorized dealer.
If the uid falls below the mark minimum,
ll it before starting.
Otherwise, the steering pump becomes
damaged.
When the level falls below the lower mark,
or the level falls suddenly and rapidly, never
use the lever. However if you nd few
losses, you can top-up to the upper mark,
and run a short distance to the nearest
authorized wok place.
Check the uid level every week.
The engine should become cold and
switched off when checking hydraulic uid
level and front wheels should be straight.

Hydraulic uid is highly poisonous, and
should be kept out of children reach.
Refer to the physician if accidentally
swallowed.

cloth, and wash the area with water
