OWNER MAINTENANCE
WARNING
In addition to the routine services and
inspections referred to previously, a number of
simple checks must be carried out more
frequently. You can carry out these checks
yourself and advice is given on the pages that
follow.
If brake pedal travel is unusually long or if
there is any significant loss of brake fluid,
contact your retailer immediately. Driving
under such conditions could result in
extended stopping distances or complete
brake failure.
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid levels,
or uneven tire wear, should be reported to a
retailer without delay.
