NOTE:



Do not reuse the drained fluid.  



Always use Genuine DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Genuine 
DOT or 4 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the 
system.  



Make sure no dirt of other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the 
brake fluid.  



Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake 
fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.  



The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) level 
mark at the start of bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each 
brake caliper. Add fluid as required.
