Changing brake fluid Brake fluid must be changed according to the service schedule in your ⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance. Have the brake fluid checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Refill only with new brake fluid that meets the standards listed above. WARNING Brake failure and reduced brake performance can be caused by not having enough brake fluid in the reservoir or by old or incorrect brake fluid. x Check the brake system and brake fluid level regularly. x Always change the brake fluid according to the service schedule in your ⇒ booklet Warranty and Maintenance. x Hard braking with old brake fluid may cause vapor lock. Vapor lock reduces brakig n performance, increases stopping distances and can even cause total brake failure. x Always make sure that only the correct brake fluid is used. Only use brake fluid that expressly conforms to VW Standard 501 14 or, if it is not available, only use a high-quality brake fluid that conforms to U.S. Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 requirements. x Using another brake fluid, or one that is not of high quality, can impair the function of the brake system and reduce its effectiveness. If the container does not say that the brake fluid complies with VW Standard 501 14, or U.S. Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4, do not use it. x The brake fluid must be new. WARNING Brake fluid is poisonous. x To reduce the risk of poisoning, never use food, beverage or other non-original containers to store brake fluid. Someone might be misled by the original label on the container, or by the shape of the container, and drink the brake fluid. This could occur even if you relabel the container as “brake fluid.” x Only store brake fluid in the closed, original container and keep it out of the reach of children. NOTICE Brake fluid will damage vehicle paint, plastic parts, and tires. Wipe any brake fluid off vehicle paint and other vehicle parts immediately. Brake fluid can pollute the environment.
