2. Brake fluid is aggressive. Avoid its contact with paintwork. If this happens, immediately wipe off the fluid and rinse with water.
3. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs liquid from the air. Therefore, brake fluid should only be stored in closed containers.

Plugs and cuffs of the brake system are damaged if they come into contact with products containing mineral oils. Rags soaked in mineral oils must not be used to clean system components.
7. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years, regardless of the mileage. It is recommended to replace the brake fluid after the cold season.
