FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
4. Fill:
• brake fluid reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended brake fluid)
Recommended brake fluid
WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
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
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.
5. Bleed:
• brake system
Refer to "BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM".

Below the minimum level mark
the recommended brake fluid to the proper
level.
Refer to "CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
