FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
WARNING
S Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
S Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
S When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the boil-
ing point of the brake fluid and could cause
vapor lock.

Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt fluid immediately.
