VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

245

To avoid damaging the

pump motor, do not use
the windscreen/rearscreen

washers when the reservoir is
empty.

IMPORTANT Brake and hydraulic clutch

fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture).
For this reason, if the car is mainly used in
areas with a high degree of atmospheric hu-
midity, the fluid should be replaced at more
frequent intervals than specified in the
Scheduled Maintenance Programme.

ter and

Brake and clutch fluid is
poisonous and highly cor-

rosive. In the event of accidental
contact, wash the parts concerned
immediately with neutral soap and
water, then rinse thoroughly. See
a doctor at once if the fluid is swal-
lowed.

WARNING

The

π, symbol on the con-

tainer indicates synthetic

brake fluid, distinguishing it from
the mineral kind. Using mineral flu-
ids irreversibly damages the spe-
cial braking system rubber seals.

WARNING

Some commercial additives
for windscreen washers

are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.

WARNING

Do not travel with the wind-
screen/rearscreen washer

reservoir empty: the action of the
windscreen washer is fundamental
for improving vision.
