eyes because brake fluid can be
harmful to your eyes. If brake

ately flush them thoroughly with

clean water. For safety, when
performing this work, wearing

. Brake fluid absorbs moisture

from the air. Any absorbed moist-
ure can cause a dangerous loss
of braking performance.

. If the vehicle requires frequent

refilling, there may be a leak. If
you suspect a problem, have the
vehicle checked at your SUBARU

ful not to allow any dirt into the
reservoir.

. Never splash the brake fluid over

painted surfaces or rubber parts.
Alcohol contained in the brake
fluid may damage them.

. Be careful not to spill brake fluid

when adding it. If brake fluid
touches the exhaust pipe, it may
cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or
a fire. If brake fluid gets on the
exhaust pipe, be sure to wipe it
off.
