CAUTION:
- Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Be careful not to spill any on painted surfaces. In addition, if there is any brake fluid on the wiring harness, the wire insulation may corrode causing a malfunction such as a short circuit. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface or wiring harness, wash and flush it off completely with water immediately.
- Verify that the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reserve tank is between the MAX and MIN marks.
- If the brake fluid level is below the MIN mark, add brake fluid.
