Use only the recommended qualitybrake fluid, otherwise the rubberseals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking perfor-mance. Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction andlead to poor braking performance. Be careful that water does not en-ter the master cylinder when refill-ing. Water will significantly lowerthe boiling point of the fluid andmay result in vapor lock. Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-ways clean up spilled fluidimmediately. As the brake pads wear, it is nor-mal for the brake fluid level to grad-ually go down. However, if theum level markRecommended brake fluid:DOT 4
