Figure 16: Brake Fluid reservoir

1. Reservoir filler cap

2. ‘MAX’ – maximum level

3. 'DANGER' – minimum level

Use only new fluid from a sealed container (old fluid

from uncapped containers or fluid previously bled from

the system will absorb moisture, and adversely affect

performance).

To refit the cap, replace slowly to prevent leakage and

screw up by hand only.

Figure 17: Clutch fluid reservoir

WARNING!

 DO NOT drive the car if the fluid level is below

the ‘DANGER’ mark.

 Brake/Clutch fluid may damage painted surfaces:

Soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth

immediately and wash the area with a mixture of

car shampoo and water.

 If Brake/Clutch fluid should come into contact

with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with

plenty of water.

 Brake/Clutch fluid must be completely replaced

every after two years regardless of mileage.

 Brake/Clutch fluid is inflammable; do not allow

fluid to come into contact with hot components or

naked flames.

Wipers & Washers

Windscreen washers

Check the reservoir level at least every week and top-

up with a mixture of water and Comma screenwash.

WARNING!

Screenwash is flammable, particularly if high or

undiluted concentrations are exposed to sparks. Do not

allow screenwash to come into contact with naked

flames or sources of ignition.

Body panels may suffer discolouration as a result of

screenwash spillage. Take care to avoid spillage,

particularly if an undiluted or high concentration of

screenwash is being used. If spillage occurs, wash the

affected area immediately with water.

WARNING!

Do not use an anti-freeze or vinegar/water solution in

the screen washer reservoir – anti-freeze will damage

painted surfaces, while vinegar can damage the

windscreen washer pump.

Washer jets

Once set the water jets should not require further

adjustment. If a jet becomes blocked, use a thin wire or

pin as a probe to clear the obstruction.

Wiper blades

Wash the wiper blades in warm soapy water and

periodically check their condition. If signs of hardness

or cracking in the rubber are found, or if the wipers

leave streaks or unwiped areas on the windscreen

during use, then the wiper blades should be replaced.

Clean the windscreen regularly with glass cleaner and

ensure the screen is thoroughly cleaned before fitting

replacement wiper blades.

Battery

Battery maintenance

The battery is designed to be maintenance free, so

topping-up is unnecessary. The battery will lose charge

if your vehicle is laid up unused. See “Laying your

vehicle up for long periods” later in this section.

WARNING!

Batteries contain acid, which is both corrosive and

poisonous. If spillage occurs:
