! WARNING
Never use brake fluid from an open container or reuse
brake fluid. Moisture-contaminated brake fluid could cause
vapor build-up (expansion) during hard braking resulting in
greatly increased stopping distance or loss of control lead-
ing to injury or death.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the vehicle.
