WARNING

l
Use only the designated quality brake
fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor performance.
l
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
CAUTION:

Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
