and must therefore always be stored in
airtight containers.

Note:

Only use new brake fluid conforming to US
standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this
specification.
Rinse off any spilled brake fluid using plenty of
water.
When the system is open do not work with
compressed air and do not move the vehicle.
During the final road test, make sure at least
one ABS-controlled braking operation is carried
out (normal pulsations must be felt at the brake
pedal).
