CAUTION: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution .

CAUTION: Do not remove the reservoir cap while depressing and releasing the brake pedal. If the cap is removed while depressing and releasing the brake pedal, pressurized brake fluid being returned to the reservoir may leave the reservoir. Personal injury or vehicle damage could result.

NOTE: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice .

NOTE: When adding fluid to the brake fluid reservoir or to the clutch fluid reservoir, use only GM Vehicle Care Brake and Clutch Fluid Super DOT-4, GM P/N 88958860 (Canadian P/N 88901244), or equivalent DOT-4 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. This polyglycol brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Improper or contaminated fluid could result in damage to the system components.

NOTE: Do Not allow the HBCi pump and motor to run more than 1 minute continuously. Allow 2 minutes cool down time between pump run times. Extended pump and motor run time could create excessive heat, and damage the pump and motor assembly.
