WARNING
The brake fluidc onstantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake fluidist oo low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is arisk of an accident. You shoul
dhave the brake fluidr enewed at
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 281).
The brake fluidc hange intervals can be found
