- brake fluid is poisonous. Never suck it out with your mouth through a hose. Pour brake fluid only into containers that are not suitable for other purposes;
- brake fluid corrodes car paint when it gets into contact with it, if this happens by accident, wipe it off immediately and rinse with plenty of water;
- brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. Therefore, brake fluid should only be stored in closed containers;
- brake fluid that has already been used once in the brake system should not be used again. When bleeding the brakes, only fill in new brake fluid.
Brake fluid specification: DOT 4.
Brake fluid must not come into contact with grease or mineral oil. Even minor traces of mineral oil make the brake fluid unusable or lead to failure of the brake system.
Change brake fluid every 2 years, if possible after the cold season.
Hand over used brake fluid to a special waste depot, and do not pour it down the drain. Do not mix brake fluid with engine oil.
