Brake f luid is hygroscopic, i.e . absorbs wa ter.
If the brakes become warm, e .g. wh en driving
down a long incline, vapour bubbles could
form and impair braking power.
The f luid c hange intervals specif ie d in the
Service Booklet must therefore be observed.
Windscree n w ipers
Clear vision is essential for safe driving.
You should therefore ch ec k th e windsc reen
wipers and headlamp wash system 3
regularly to make sure they are operating
correctly.
If window s are dirty, operate the w indscreen
wash system before switching on the
windscreen wipers or automatic wiper system
with rain sensor 3 in order to prevent wiper
blade wear.
Do not switch on the windscreen wipers or set
them to automa tic operation with the rain
sensor 3 if the windscreen is iced up a s this
could damage the wiper blades or the wiper
system.
Caution – brak e f luid is poisonous and
corrosive. Do not allow it to conta ct eyes,
skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. Direct
contact may ca use injurie s an d da mage .
