Bravo-Brava Introduction
Planned maintenance
oo.
If fluid has to be added, only use D0T4 clas­
sification. Tutela TOP 4 270°C, which is used
initially, is particularly recommended.
Avoid the brake fluid, which is partic­
ularly corrosive, from coming into
contact with the paintwork. If it
does, wash immediately with cold
water.
The symbol @ , on the container,
identifies synthetic type brake fluids,
distinguishing them from mineral
types. The use of mineral type fluids
irreparably damages the rubber seals
in the braking system.
Power steering fluid level
Check that, with the vehicle on a flat surface
and the engine cold, the fluid level is be­
tween the MIN and MAX references on the
dip stick in the tank cap or on the actual tank.
In order to carry out the check, clean the dip
stick, fully tighten the cap, undo it and check
the level.
When the fluid is hot it may exceed the MAX
level.
If necessary, add fluid, making sure that it has
the same characteristics as the fluid already
present in the system.
Start up the engine and wait until the level of
the fluid in the tank stabilizes.
With the engine running and the vehicle sta-
tionary,turn the steering wheel completely to
the right and to the left several times.
Top up until the level corresponds to the
MAX reference, then retighten the cap.
Avoid power steering fluid coming in­
to contact with the hot parts of the en­
gine as it is inflammable.
