4.8.1 Instructions for use and safety
WARNING
♦ In hybrid vehicles, the hybrid-relevant components in the
working area must be visually inspected ⇒ page 40
♦ In the event of conspicuous findings or uncertainties, con‐
tact your responsible high-voltage technician or specialist
electrician!
♦ Brake fluid must under no circumstances come into con‐
tact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, petrol, cleaning
solutions). Mineral oils will damage seals and sleeves of
brake system.
♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. In addition, due to its corrosive
nature, it must not come into contact with paint.
♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it attracts moisture from the
surrounding air and therefore must always be stored in air-
tight containers.
♦ Wash away spilt brake fluid using plenty of water.
♦ Do not reuse extracted (used) brake fluid.
♦ Observe disposal regulations!
Caution
For this vehicle only brake fluid VW 501 14 -B 000 750- must
be used.
