poor brake performance.

that is already in the system. Mixing
brake fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction, leading to poor brake
performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the brake fluid and could
cause vapor lock.

and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
NOTE:

In order to ensure a correct reading of the
brake fluid level, make sure the top of the
brake master cylinder reservoir is horizontal.
