. The fluid level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks. Check the level
regularly. Change the brake fluid every other
year or at every other regular service.
See capacities and recommended grade for
fluids and oils on page 170.
NOTE! The fluid should be changed annually
on cars which drive in conditions requiring
hard and frequent braking, driving in mountains
or tropical climates with high humidity.
Power steering fluid reservoir
Check the level at every service. It is not
necessary to change the fluid. The level should
lie between the ADD and FULL marks.
See capacities and recommended grade for
fluids and oils on page 170.
NOTE! If a fault occurs in the power steering
(or if the car has no power and is to be towed)
the car can still be steered. Remember that the
steering will be much heavier than normal and
more strength is required to turn the steering
wheel.
Washer fluid reservoir
The windscreen, tailgate and headlamp washers
all share the same fluid reservoir. See capacities
and recommended grade for fluids and oils on
page 170.
Use washer fluid during the winter so that the
fluid does not freeze in the pump, reservoir and
hoses.
Tip: clean the wiper blades when topping up
washer fluid.
