9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.
When the vehicle has not been
running for at least 1 minute, the
maximum fluid level is at the top of the
reservoir body. When the vehicle is
running, the brake fluid level must be
between the MIN and MAX marks.
If fluid level is below MIN seek the
assistance of a workshop.
After work is done on the brake
hydraulic system, make sure the oil
level is in the proper operating range
between the MIN and MAX marks
when the vehicle is running. Only use

approved for the vehicle. Consult a
workshop.
