Safety First Operating instructions Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
• Before opening the bonnet to check the brake fluid level, read and
observe the warnings ⇒ page 169.
• Brake fluid should be stored in the closed original container in a safe
place out of reach of children. This represents a toxic danger.

paintwork immediately.
For the sake of the environment
Brake fluid must be drained and disposed of in the proper manner observing
