POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
FLUID (fig.s 1, 2)
Check the fluid level is not below the
MIN mark visible on the reservoir
with the engine cold.
If necessary, add fluid making sure
that it has the same specifications as
the fluid in the reservoir.
BRAKE FLUID (fig.s 1, 2)
Check that the fluid level in the
reservoir is at maximum level.
Periodically check that the warning
light on the instrument panel is work-
ing properly by pressing on the reser-
voir cover with the key at MAR.
Warning light
x
should come on.
If you need to add fluid, only use the
type classified DOT4. You are advised
in particular to use TUTELA TOP 4
with which the braking system was
originally filled.
Symbol
π on the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
type brake fluid distin-
guishing it from the mineral kind.
Using mineral type fluids damages
the special rubber braking system
gaskets beyond repair.
Make sure the power-as-
sisted steering fluid does
not come into contact with
hot parts of the engine as it catches
fire very easily.
Do not push on the power
steering limit switch for
more than 15 seconds with
the engine running. This causes
noise and could damage the sys-
tem.
Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If further top-
ping up is required soon
after the initial top-up, have the
system checked over at a LANCIA
Dealership for leaks.
