moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that
has been in a tightly closed container. Keep the

Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture
from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
This may cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard
or prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake
failure. This could result in a collision.

damage painted and vinyl surfaces, care should be
taken to avoid its contact with these surfaces.
