- Brake fluid is poisonous. Under no circumstances should it be sucked out by mouth through a hose. Brake fluid should only be poured into containers that prevent human misuse.
- Brake fluid is corrosive, so it must not come into contact with car paint. If brake fluid is spilled, wipe it off immediately and flush the surface with plenty of water.
- Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the air, lowering its boiling point. Therefore, store brake fluid only in closed containers.
- Brake fluid that has already been used once in the brake system must not be refilled. When removing air from the brake system, also fill in only new brake fluid.
- Brake fluid specification: SAE J 1703, DOT 3 or DOT 4.
- Brake fluid must not come into contact with petroleum products. Even small impurities of petroleum products make the brake fluid unusable or lead to failure of the brake system.
- Brake fluid must be changed every 50,000 kilometers.
- Used brake fluid must be handed over to special disposal points.
