Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled brake
fluid immediately.
Use only the designated quality brake fluid:
other brake fluids may deteriorate the rub-
ber seals, causing leakage and poor brake
performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid: mix-
ing brake fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction and lead to poor brake
performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
brake fluid and may result in vapor lock.
