WARNINGS

  • Do not use a brake fluid other than the recommended type as this would reduce braking efficiency.

Using a non-recommended brake fluid could result in loss of vehicle control and serious or fatal injury.

  • Only use brake fluid from a sealed container.

    • Contamination by dirt, water, petroleum products or other materials can cause brake failure or damage the system. Failure to heed this warning may result in loss of vehicle control and serious or fatal injury.
  • Avoid any contact of the fluid with skin or eyes. This may cause serious personal injury. Immediately flush the affected area with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
  • When the fluid level is between the MAX and MIN marks, it is within the normal operating range and topping up is not necessary. A fluid level outside the normal operating range may compromise the proper operation of the brakes and clutch. Have your vehicle checked immediately.
    • Contrôle de liquide de freins et d'embrayage

    Note: The brake and clutch systems are supplied by a common reservoir.
