4.11 Brake fluid level: Check
NOTICE
♦ Never allow brake fluid to come into contact with fluids
that contain mineral oils (e.g. oil, petrol, cleaning agents).
Mineral oils will damage seals and rubber grommets of
brake system.
♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. In addition, due to its corrosive ef‐
fect, brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork.
♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs mois‐
ture from the ambient air and should therefore always be
stored in air-tight containers.
♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.
♦ Observe relevant disposal regulations.
When replenishing, ensure to not spill any liquids in the en‐
gine compartment.
Spilled liquids may cause damage in the motor compartment.
Toothed belts, V-belts and poly V-belts which came into con‐
tact with oil, brake fluid or coolant must always be renewed.

ing -1-.
