In order to not expose themselves to future unforeseen expenses for repair brake system, and then the whole vehicle as a whole, promptly replace the brake fluid fresh. It is very hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air that, in addition to the corrosion of the braking system, lowers the boiling point of the fluid, and it can lead to brake failure with frequent heavy braking.

Do not use the drained fluid from the system again: it is contaminated, saturated with air and moisture.

Hit the brake fluid on the wire, plastic or painted parts of the body can cause damage, so when pouring Always put a clean cloth. If the liquid gets on these details immediately wipe them with a clean cloth.

A WARNING

The gradual decrease in the level of brake fluid in the absence of leakage points is likely to need to replace the brake pads. Check the condition of the brake pads (see. "Check the wear of brake pads, discs and drums"). Failure to replace the pad leads to costly repairs (replacement of brake discs, drums, calipers)!
