User's Manual

Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach
of children. If accidental consumption
is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highly inflammable. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine).
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.
With the vehicle on level ground, check the fluid
level at least every week (more frequently in
high mileage or arduous operating conditions).
The brake fluid reservoir is located beneath a
cover on the raised platform to the rear of the
main underbonnet area. See 245, LUBRICANTS
AND FLUIDS.
The brake fluid level should be between the MIN
and the MAX marks on the side of the reservoir.
The fluid level may drop slightly during normal
use, as a result of brake pad wear, but should
not be allowed to drop below the MIN mark.
TOPPING UP THE BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid will damage painted surface.
Soak up any spillage with an absorbent
cloth immediately and wash the area
with a mixture of car shampoo and
water.
Only use new fluid from an airtight
container (fluid from open containers or
fluid previously bled from the system,
will have absorbed moisture, which will
adversely affect performance, and must
not be used).
1.
Clean the filler cap with a dry, clean cloth
before removing. This will help prevent dirt
or moisture from entering the reservoir.
2.
Remove the filler cap.
3.
Top up the reservoir with the specified brake
fluid to at least the MINIMUM mark, see
245, LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS.
Do not top up the brake fluid to the
maximum mark unless the brake pads
have been replaced. If unsure seek
qualified assistance.
4.
Replace the filler cap.
5.
Refit the reservoir cover.
CHECKING THE POWER STEERING
FLUID LEVEL
Power steering fluid is highly toxic.
Keep containers sealed and out of
reach of children. If accidental
consumption of fluid is suspected, seek
medical attention immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
