Brake fluid chang e

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs

water. If the brakes become hot, such as

when driving on long downhill stretches,

vapour bubbles can occur in the water

which can have an extremely adverse

effect on braking power (depending on the

proportion of water).

The brake fluid change intervals specified

in the S ervice Booklet must therefore b e

observed.

Windscreen wiper

Clear vision is essential for safe driving.

The refore, check wind scre en wiper and

headlight wash/wipe system 3 regularly for

cleaning effect. We recommend replacing

the wiper blades after a year at most.

If the windows are dirty, op erate the

windscreen wash before switching the

wiper on, in order to prevent wiper blade

wear.

Do not switch windscreen wiper on if

wind ow s a re icy , s ince this may damage

the wiper edges or the wiper system.

If the wiper becomes frozen on to the glass,

we recom mend that it be released w ith the

aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray before

starting the v ehicle, to prev ent w iper motor

damage.

Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with

a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen

Wash Solvent.

Wiper blades whose lips have become

hardened, cracked or covered with silicone

must be replaced. This may be necessary

as a result of the effects of ice, thawing salt

or heat, or the incorrect use of cleaning

agents.

Switc h off w indscreen wiper if using a car

wash – see pages 11, 204.

9 Wa rning

Have the brake fluid changed by a

workshop. Observe the legal

requirements for disposal of brake fluid,

to protect of the environm ent and your

he alth.
