mended brake fluid)
WARNING
_
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the piston
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.

that is already in the system. Mixing
brake 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 reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the brake fluid and could
cause vapor lock.
