Additional Notes
- The DR DR1 1.3 covers the hydraulic brake and clutch system within a single shared fluid circuit, meaning the 0.5 liter capacity figure applies to both functions combined rather than to the brake circuit alone.
- A 0.5 liter capacity is a relatively modest volume, consistent with the compact dimensions of a small 1.3-liter vehicle's hydraulic system and typical of service-fill quantities rather than a full system overhaul flush.
- The change interval is defined under normal use conditions, set at 40,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first. The 48-month ceiling reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and degrades regardless of mileage accumulated.
- The dual-trigger interval structure, combining a distance threshold of 40,000 km with a fixed 48-month period, means calendar time alone can mandate a fluid change even when the vehicle has seen low annual mileage.
