Brake fluid notes - AH42.50-P-0001-01A

MODEL ALL 

• Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with vehicle paintwork, as it contains ingredients that act as solvents on the paint. Should brake fluid come into contact with the paint despite all precautions, the moistened surface must be flushed immediately with a lot of water (do not rub off brake fluid).
• Brake fluid is highly hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs humidity which reduces its boiling point. Brake fluid must therefore only be stored in properly sealed reservoirs (original container) in order to avoid moisture absorption via the air humidity. A boiling point which is reduced as a result can lead to problems up to the total failure of the brake system at high operating temperatures.
• Used brake fluid must not be re-used.
• Brake fluid is colorless to yellow colored and is therefore easily confused with mineral oil products. Therefore only remove brake fluids from original containers and store separately from mineral oils and other fluids.
• Disposal instructions for workshops located in the Federal Republic of Germany, please refer to:
