8. NOTE: Absolute cleanliness must be
observed when topping up with brake fluid.
Check the brake fluid level.
• The brake fluid level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. If the level drops
below the MIN mark the brake warning
light comes on.
• If necessary, top up the brake fluid
reservoir with DOT4 brake fluid.
9. NOTE: Carefully engage reverse gear.
Check that the clutch operates correctly.
• Start the engine and carefully engage
reverse gear about 2 seconds after
depressing the clutch pedal. If in doing so
the gear engagement is particularly noisy,
bleed the system automatically by
operating the clutch several times (max. 4
- 5 times), using the full clutch pedal
travel.
• After waiting about 30 seconds, check
the operation of the clutch again. If the
gearshift is still too noisy, repeat the
previous job steps.
