ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Brake fluid absorbs water from the air over time. Too much water in the brake fluid will damage the
brake system. Water also lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. Too much water in the brake fluid
can cause vapor lock during heavy brake use or hard braking. Vapor lock reduces braking
performance, increases stopping distances and can even cause total brake failure. Your safety and
the safety of others depends on brakes that are working properly at all times ⇒ꢀ
