BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
WARNINGS
Do not use any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid as this will
reduce brake efficiency. Use of
incorrect fluid could result in the loss of
vehicle control, serious personal injury or
death.
Only use brake fluid from a sealed
container. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage or failure. Failure to adhere to this
warning could result in the loss of vehicle
control, serious personal injury or death.
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. This could cause serious
personal injury. Rinse the affected
areas immediately with plenty of water
and consult a physician.
A fluid level between the MAX and
MIN lines is within the normal
operating range and there is no need
to add fluid. A fluid level outside of the
normal operating range could compromise
the performance of the brake or clutch
systems. Have your vehicle checked
immediately.

Maintenance
See (page 169).
Note: The brake and the clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.

WASHER FLUID CHECK

Note: The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY

For vehicles with Start-Stop the
battery requirement is different. You
must replace the battery with one of
exactly the same specification.
The battery is located in the engine
compartment. See Maintenance (page
152).
