WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake pedal
can indicate the presence of air in the brake
system. Before the vehicle is operated, the
air must be removed by bleeding the brake
system. Air in the brake system will consid-
erably reduce braking performance and
could result in loss of control and possibly
an accident. Therefore, check and, if neces-
sary, bleed the brake system.

WARNING
Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
G
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
G
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
When refilling, be careful that water does
G
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.

CAUTION:
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
NOTE:
In order to ensure a correct reading of the brake
fluid level, make sure the top of the brake fluid
reservoir is horizontal.
