Routines 9!11
Checking fluids
Checking the brake fluid
A constant fluid level is necessary to
ensure that the car's brake system
remains in perfect working order.
Checking the brake fluid level
! Open the front luggage compartment.
! Turn the four retaining screws
anticlockwise to remove.
! Remove the storage tray.
! Look down into the reservoir for a
visual check.
>The fluid level must lie between the
MIN and MAX marks.
>Important!
Have the brake fluid topped up only by a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. in a
smart center.
! If the level is slightly below the MIN
mark, take your car to a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a smart
center.
! If the level is significantly below the
MIN mark, call a breakdown recovery
service, e.g. smartmove Assistance or a
qualified specialist workshop, such as a
smart center.
Accident risk!
If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapour bubbles could
form in the brake system when the
brakes are subjected to high loads
(e.g. when driving down mountain
passes). This will impair the
effectiveness of the brakes.
Have the brake fluid changed every two
years!
