WARNING
♦ The brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it retains humidity from
the ambient air, and must therefore always be stored in
airtight containers.
♦ Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids con‐
taining mineral oils (oil, petrol, cleaning agent). Mineral
oils damage the plugs and boots of the brake system.
♦ Drained (used) brake fluid must never be used again.
♦ The brake fluid is toxic, avoid skin contact.
♦ Because of its caustic effect, the brake fluid must not come
into contact with paint.
♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.
♦ Dispose of brake fluid in compliance with the applicable
waste disposal and environmental regulations.
♦ Bleeding brake system on vehicles with ABS or TCS/ESP
(ESC), as for vehicles without ABS.
♦ Only use new brake fluid in accordance with the specifi‐
cation ⇒ page 8 .
A pre-pressure of 0,2 MPa (2 bar) is required to bleed the brake
