Let's see how to check and manage the maintenance of your car. The first step to open the engine bay is to lift the internal release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, right next to the steering wheel. The second step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Unscrew the brake fluid cap and top up the reservoir if necessary.

Always remember not to exceed the recommended level indicated on the side of the reservoirs. This type of maintenance is always advisable to perform with the engine off and cold, so that hot circulating fluid does not spill and cause damage.
