WARNING Risk of inju rythro ugh dif fer‐
ent wheel sizes
Inter changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vediffere nt dimensions
may se verely impair the driving characteris‐
tics.
The disk brakes or wheel suspension compo‐
nents may also be damaged. #
Rotate front and rear wheels on lyifthe
wheels and tyres are of the same
dimensions. Inter
changing the front and rear wheels if the

WARNING Risk of an accident due to
va pour poc kets form ing in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid cons tantly absorbs moi sture
from the air. This lo wersthe boiling point of
th e brake fluid. If the boiling point is too lo w,
va pour poc kets may form inthe brake sys‐
te m when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking ef fect. #
