Warning! Brake fluid is harmful to the eyes and aggressive to painted surfaces. Take precautions when working with her. Do not use liquid that has been exposed for a while, as it absorbs moisture from the air. Excess moisture can dangerously reduce braking performance.
Attention! On models equipped with ABS, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
1. The procedure is similar to bleeding the hydraulic system described in Chapter Brake system, except that before starting work, it is necessary to pump out the fluid from the reservoir of the brake hydraulic system with a clean siphon.
2. Acting as described in Chapter Brake system, open the first bleeder valve and gently depress the brake pedal until all old fluid is removed from the master cylinder reservoir. Bring the fluid level up to the MAX mark with new fluid and continue pumping until only new fluid remains in the reservoir.
3. Proceed in the same way, going through all the other bleeders in sequence. At the same time, keep the level in the master cylinder reservoir above "MIN" marks, otherwise air may enter the system, which will greatly complicate the task.
4. At the end of the operation, check that all bleed fittings are securely clamped and new dust caps are installed on them. Clean up any spilled fluid and recheck the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir.
5. Check the operation of the brakes.
