Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
^ Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Brake fluid can also damage electrical connections. Use shop cloths and fender covers to prevent brake fluid from contacting such surfaces. Always reseal and wipe brake fluid containers clean to prevent spillage.

^ DOT-5 silicone fluid is not recommended for use in the vehicle's base brake system.

^ DOT-5 brake fluid should never be used in the antilock brake system. Brake fluid should always be stored in a closed container. Reseal brake fluid containers immediately after use.

^ Brake fluid left in an open or improperly sealed container will absorb moisture. This can lower the fluid's boiling point and may result in system contamination, corrosion or deterioration of rubber components.

NOTE:
^ Use Delco Supreme II Brake Fluid or an equivalent DOT-3 motor vehicle brake fluid.
