WARNING
♦ Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids con‐
taining mineral oils (oil, petrol, cleaning agent). Mineral
oils damage the gaskets and boots of the brake system.
♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. Also due to its corrosive effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork.
♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from
the surrounding air. Therefore it should always be stored
in airtight containers.
♦ Wash any parts stained with brake fluid with large vol‐
umes of water.
♦ Observe the disposal instructions!
♦ Drained (used) brake fluid must never be used again.
Extract brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir.

bleeding device, e.g. -VAS 5234- or -VAS 6860-.
