cations marked in the table for the lowest SAE
viscosity class. Possible restrictions of the

Notes on brake fluid
Observe the notes on operating fluids
(/ page 564).
&
WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapour pockets forming in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake sys‐
tem when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking effect.
