BRAKE PAD INSPECTION/BRAKE HOSE INSPECTION
WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other flu-
ids may deteriorate the rubber seals, causing
leakage and poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of fluid. Mixing fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction
leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does not
enter the brake master cylinder reservoir.
Water will significantly lower the boiling point
of the fluid and may cause vapor lock.
