WARNING Risk of an accident due to
va por poc kets form ing in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid con stantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lo wersthe boiling point of
th e brake fluid. If the boiling point is too lo w,
va por poc kets may form inthe brake sy stem
when the brakes are applied hard.
This causes the braking ef fect to be impaired. #
Have the brake fluid rene we d at the
