Be sure to completely remove foreign substances around brake fluid reservoir and cap before opening the reservoir cap to prevent any contamination of brake fluid and deterioration in braking performance.

Using a syringe, remove the brake fluid from the reservoir.

•	Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle as it may damage the paint. If brake fluid comes in contact with the paint, wash off immediately with water.

•	To prevent dust entering the reservoir, the reservoir cap should be closed again after removing brake fluid.

4.	Disconnect reservoir hose from the reservoir and IBAU connecter (A).
