WARNING<br />

Brake and clutch fluid is<br />

poisonous and highly corrosive.<br />

In the event of accidental<br />

contact, wash the parts involved<br />

immediately with neutral soap and<br />

water, then rinse thoroughly. See<br />

a doctor at once if the fluid is swallowed.<br />

WARNING<br />

Symbol π on the container<br />

indicates synthetic type<br />

brake fluid distinguishing it from<br />

the mineral kind. Using mineral<br />

type fluids damages the special<br />

rubber braking system gaskets beyond<br />

repair.<br />

WARNING Brake and hydraulic clutch<br />

fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture).<br />

For this reason, if the car is mainly used in<br />

areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity,<br />

the fluid should be replaced at more<br />

frequent intervals than specified in the<br />

Scheduled Maintenance Programme.<br />
