3. Fill: brake fluid reservoir _ Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled brake fluid immediately. CAUTION: _ Use only the designated quality brake fluid: other brake fluids may deteriorate the rubber seals, causing leakage and poor brake performance. Refill with the same type of brake fluid: mixing brake fluids may result in a harm- ful reaction and lead to poor brake perfor- mance. Be careful that water does not enter the brake master cylinder when refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the brake fluid and may result in vapor lock. WARNING 4.
