3. Remove the reservoir filler cap by
rotating counter-clockwise.
4. Check the brake fluid reservoir level.
The level should be between the MIN
and the MAX marks.
Note: The fluid level may drop slightly
during normal use, as a result of brake
pad wear, but should not be allowed
to drop below the MIN mark.
TOPPING UP THE BRAKE/
CLUTCH FLUID
Always use brake fluid which has
the correct specification. See 264,
LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS.
Brake fluid will damage painted
surfaces. Soak up any spillage with
an absorbent cloth immediately,
and wash the area with a mixture of
car shampoo and water.
Only use new fluid from an airtight
container (fluid from open
containers or fluid previously bled
from the system, will have absorbed
moisture, which will adversely affect
performance, and must not be
used).
Do not top up the brake fluid to the
maximum mark unless the brake
pads have been renewed. If unsure,
seek qualified assistance.
1. Top up the brake fluid reservoir to at
least the minimum mark.
2. Refit the brake fluid reservoir filler cap
by rotating clockwise.
3. Refit the under bonnet cover. See 201,
UNDER BONNET COVERS -
REFITTING.
CHECKING THE WASHER FLUID
LEVEL
Do not allow the screen washer
fluid to come into contact with
naked flames or sources of
ignition.
If the vehicle is operated in
temperatures below 4°C, use a
washer fluid with frost protection.
Only use approved washer fluid.
Take care to avoid spillage,
particularly if an undiluted or high
concentration is being used. If
spillage occurs, wash the affected
area immediately with water.
The washer fluid reservoir supplies the
front and rear screen washer jets and the
headlamp washer jets.
Check and top up the reservoir level at
least every week. Always top up with
screen washer fluid to prevent freezing.
Operate the washer switches periodically
to check that the nozzles are clear and
properly directed.
TOPPING UP THE WASHER
FLUID
Top up the washer fluid as follows:
1. Clean the washer fluid reservoir filler
cap before removing, to prevent dirt
from entering the reservoir.
2. Remove the filler cap.
3. Top up the reservoir until the fluid is
visible in the filler neck.
4. Replace the filler cap.
