Notes On Application And Safety Precaution

Note. From model year 2006, a new brake fluid is introduced. The new brake fluid can also be used for older vehicles. New brake fluid can be mixed with previous brake fluid.

WARNINGBrake fluid must never come into contact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, gas, cleaning solutions). Oils containing minerals damage seals and sleeves on brake systems. Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to its caustic nature, it must also never be brought into contact with paint. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means that it absorbs moisture from the air. Always store brake fluid in air-tight containers. Wash off brake fluid spillage using plenty of water. Do not reuse, (used) extracted brake fluid. Observe waste disposal regulations!
