Washer fluid

If any washer does not work or the

warning message appears on the

multi-information

display,

the

washer tank may be empty. Add

washer fluid.

■

Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air

Excess moisture in the brake fluid can cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency.

Use only newly opened brake fluid.

CAUTION

■

When filling the reservoir

Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage painted

surfaces.

If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water

immediately.

If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.

NOTICE

■

If the fluid level is low or high

It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear out or

when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.

If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, may be a serious problem.
