WARNING | t
| Do not under any circumstances allow brake fluid to come into contact with fluids that contain mineral oils (e.g. oil, petrol, cleaning agents). Mineral oils damage the plugs and seals in the brake system. |
| t
| Brake fluid is poisonous and must NOT be sucked through a hose with the mouth. Because of its caustic properties it must also not come into contact with paintwork. |
| t
| Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and should therefore always be stored in airtight containers. |
| t
| Always observe the relevant environmental regulations for disposal. |
|
Note | t
| Only use new brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4. |
| t
| Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification. |
| t
| Rinse off spillages using plenty of water. |
| t
| When the system is open do not work with compressed air and do not move the vehicle. |
| t
| During the final road test, ensure that at least one ABS-controlled braking operation is performed (pulsations must be felt at the brake pedal). |
