WARNING
Brake fluid will gradually absorb
moisture through the brake hoses.
Brake fluid with high water con-
tent lowers the boiling point and
can cause brake system (includ-
ing ABS) malfunction due to cor-
rosion of brake components.
Boiling brake fluid or brake sys-
tem (including ABS) malfunction
could result in an accident.
Replace the brake fluid every two
years to maintain braking perfor-
mance.

The use of any fluid except DOT4
brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer can damage the brake sys-
tem and lead to an accident.
Clean filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a
sealed container. Never use or mix
with different types of brake fluid.
