Technician Safety Information

WARNING: Overfilling the reservoir must be avoided due to the potential for overflow onto the nearby catalytic converter in the exhaust system. Brake fluid is flammable, and contact with hot exhaust components could result In a fire and possible personal injury.

CAUTION:
^ If any brake component is repaired or replaced such that air is allowed to enter the brake system, the entire bleeding procedure MUST be followed. Unapproved or partial bleed procedures can allow air to remain in the brake system. This could result in reduced braking performance and possible personal injury.

^ Use only SUPREME 11 (GM P/N 12377967) or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a closed, sealed container. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Improper or contaminated fluid could result In damage to components, or loss of braking, with possible personal injury.
