7.1 CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

In order to maintain the efficiency of the vehicle, the water level 
in the batteries and the brake fluid level should be checked over 
time.  

The water level in the batteries should be checked (with fully 

charged batteries) approximately once a month.

WARNING! Keep baking soda and large amounts of 

water nearby; this will help neutralise any acid leaking 

from the battery openings and prevent corrosive 

damage to the batteries and the vehicle.  Avoid contact of the 

acid with the skin.  

Open the battery compartment by lifting the seat and locking 
it with the  lever.  Unscrew the  caps  and  check that the water 
completely submerges the internal metal parts.
If it is necessary to top-up the liquid, use a suitable container 
and top-up with distilled or de-ionised water.

CAUTION! Do not top-up batteries before charging; 

this increases the risk of acid leakage during 

charging, as the liquid will boil.

After fully charging the batteries, if they are not already fully 
charged, add demineralised water until the metal plates of the 
battery are completely covered. When finished, carefully close 
the caps to prevent liquids from escaping. 

The oil level should be checked approximately once 

a year or at the alarm signal. 

Your vehicle is equipped 

with  a  low  brake  fluid  level  sensor.  If  the  level  is  lower 
than required, the driver is warned by a continuous beep.
To  access  the  brake  fluid  reservoir,  open  the  front  glove 
box and unscrew the body locking screws. The oil level 
must reach the mark (MAX) indicated on the reservoir.

7.2 BATTERY REPLACEMENT

WARNING! The following is a list of good practices to 

be used when handling lead acid batteries (this list is 

not exhaustive).
