Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo the reservoir cap 1 and add
the fluid described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WARNING Carefully clean the cap
of the reservoir and the surrounding
surface. Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter
with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less.
WARNING Brake fluid is hygroscopic

reason, if the car is mainly used
in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid
should be replaced at more frequent
intervals than specified in the "Service
