Excess moisture in the fluid can cause a dangerous loss of brak ing efficiency.
Use only newly opened brake fluid.
WARNING
■ When filling the reservoir
Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and d amage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your eyes, flush the affecte d area with
clean water immediately. If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.
NOTICE
■ If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as t he brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high. If the reservoir needs
frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.
