braking system, reducing the braking performance.
Always check the fluid level when ventilating the
brakes. Add brake fluid - DOT 4 recommended - if
necessary.
Always use the same type of brake fluid. Never mix
different types of brake fluid!
Do not use dirty or old brake fluid.
Change the brake fluid every two years.
