Power steering fl uid
WARNING: Make sure that the power
steering fl uid does not come into
contact with the engine hot parts as it
is fl ammable.
With the vehicle on a level ground
and the engine cold, check that the
fl uid level corresponds with the MAX
reference notch on the tank cap
dipstick.
To perform the check, unscrew the
cap, clean the dipstick, replace and
tighten the cap, then remove it again
and check the level.
When the oil is hot the level may also
exceed the MAX notch.
If necessary, top up with fl uid
making sure that it has the same
characteristics as the one already used
in the system.

Brake fl uid
Check that the fl uid level in the tank
is at the maximum level. If the level
goes below the minimum level, with
the ignition key turned to MAR, the
warning light illuminates on the
instrument panel.
If additional fl uid is needed, use only
the type classifi ed as DOT4.
WARNING: The brake fl uid is
hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs humidity).
For this reason, if the vehicle is used
mainly in areas with a high rate
of atmospheric humidity, the fl uid
should be changed more frequently
than indicated in the Maintenance
Schedule.

WARNING: Do not let the brake fl uid,
which is highly corrosive, come into
contact with the paintwork. If this
should happen, wash the paintwork
immediately with water.
WARNING: The symbol on the
container identifi es the synthetic
type of brake fl uid, distinguishing it
from the mineral type. Using mineral
fl uids irreparably damages the special
rubber linings of the braking system.
