WARNING!(Continued)
•To avoid contamination from foreign matter or
moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has
been in a tightly closed container. Keep the master
cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake
fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the
air resulting in a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or pro-
longed braking, resulting in sudden brake failure.
This could result in a accident.
•
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts, causing the
brake fluid to catch fire. Brake fluid can also damage
painted and vinyl surfaces, care should be taken to
avoid its contact with these surfaces.
•Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be
damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure.
This could result in an accident.
Automated Manual Transmission
Checking Fluid Levels
To check the gear oil and check/replace the hydraulic
clutch operating system fluid, contact only your autho-
rized dealer.
NOTE: Do not add or use leak detection dye in the
hydraulic clutch operating system fluid.
WARNING!
Used gear oil contains substances that are hazardous
for the environment. It is advisable to have oil
changed by your authorized dealer where used oil
will be disposed of according to the law.
