Checking the brake fluid level
Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is between the MAX and MIN·marks. If the brake fluid level is below the MIN·mark, add brake fluid to the reservoir.
Removing air from the brake circuit (pumping)
Attention. Brake fluid can damage the paintwork of the car body. Ensure that brake fluid does not come into contact with painted body surfaces. If this still happens, immediately remove the brake fluid from the surface of the body.
Note:
- In the process of bleeding the brake system, make sure that the level of brake fluid in the reservoir does not fall below the full volume.
- Start bleeding the brake system from the brake caliper, which is the farthest from the master brake cylinder.
1. Remove the cap from the brake reservoir and add brake fluid to the upper mark (MAX).
2. Remove the cap from the bleeder on the brake caliper and connect the vinyl tube.
3. Place the other end of the tube in a clean reservoir half filled with brake fluid.
4. Work is done by two people. The first one should depress the brake pedal several times and then depress and hold the pedal.
5. With the brake pedal fully depressed, a second person should unscrew the bleed screw using a flange nut wrench and drain the brake fluid containing air bubbles. Then tighten the bleeder screw again to 6.9-9.8 Nm.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until there are no air bubbles in the escaping brake fluid.
7. Perform the above procedure for all brake calipers.
8. Clean the brake calipers.
9. After bleeding the brake system, check the following:
- The functioning of the brakes.
- The presence of brake fluid leaks.
- Brake fluid level in reservoir.
