Brake Bleeding: Service Precautions

WARNING:  Brake fluid is poisonous.
^

It must NEVER be removed by siphoning with your mouth.

^

If brake fluid contacts skin or eyes, flush or wash adequately to prevent irritation. Get medical attention immediately if necessary.

^

Brake fluid must be disposed of properly. 

CAUTION:  
^

Use only fresh brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4. Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification.

^

Brake fluid must never be brought into contact with liquids containing mineral oil (gasoline, cleaning agents). Mineral oils damage the stoppers
and cups in the braking system.

^

Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into contact with paintwork because of its caustic effect.

^

Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air) and should therefore always be kept in airtight containers.
