6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■ Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air
Excess moisture in the fluid can cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency. Use only
newly opened brake fluid.
■ When filling the reservoir
Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage painted sur-
faces. If fluid gets on your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately. If
you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.
■ If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear or when
the fluid level in the accumulator is high. If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may
indicate a serious problem.
