1. Fill:
lBrake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches “LOWER”

WARNING
lUse only the designated quality brake
fluid:

mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor performance.
lBe 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.
