Make sure that the highly
corrosive brake fluid does not
drip onto the paintwork; if it
does, wash it off immediate-
ly with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
involved immediately with neutral
soap and water, then rinse thor-
oughly. Call the doctor immediately
if the fluid is swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol π on the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Using mineral fluids ir-
reversibly damages the special brak-
ing system rubber seals.

Check whether the fluid level in the tank
is at max. level. This operation should be
carried out with the vehicle on level
ground, engine not running and cold.
Check whether the fluid level is at MAX
mark on the dipstick integral with the tank
cap (for cold check use the level shown
on the 20 °C side on the dipstick).
If the fluid level in the reservoir is below
the specified level, top up with one of the
products specified in table "Fluids and lu-
bricants" in section "Technical Specifica-
tions", proceed as follows:
❒ Start the engine and wait until the flu-
id level in the reservoir has stabilized.
❒ With the engine started, turn repeat-
edly the steering wheel fully right-
F0N0109m
wards and leftwards.
❒ Top up until reaching the MAX mark
then refit the cap.
WARNING
Do not allow the power
steering fluid to touch the
hot parts of the engine: it is inflam-
mable.
