FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
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
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the reservoir. Water will signifi-
cantly 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.
