Warning! Brake fluid can irritate eyes and skin. If it gets into your eyes or on your skin, take the following steps:
- In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water.
- In case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water.
- If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.
Note: Removed fasteners must be installed in their original location. Replacement fasteners must have the same part number. If fasteners with the required part number are not available, fasteners of the same size and strength must be used (or more durable). Fasteners that are not reusable or require a specific tightening torque will be listed separately. When installing fasteners, the tightening torque must be strictly observed if specified. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in damage to individual components or the entire system.
Note: Use only brake fluid that meets DOT-4 specifications. If brake fluid needs to be replaced or topped up, use only the fluid specified on the brake fluid reservoir cap. It is not recommended to use "DOT 5" fluid (silicone containing). Otherwise, braking efficiency may decrease and the service life of the system may be shortened.
Note: Do not allow brake fluid to get on the paintwork, wiring, or electrical connectors. Brake fluid can corrode paint and cause corrosion of electrical connections. In case of accidental spillage, the affected area should be rinsed with water to reduce the possible consequences.
Drain (operating fluids) from the system, bleeding pressure
Replacement modulators are supplied filled and bled. During standard maintenance operations, such as replacing the HECU, air will not enter the modulator and normal bleeding will be sufficient. For more information on bleeding, see. Section 4A, "Hydraulic Brake System".
