Warning! Brake fluid is harmful to the eyes and corrosive to painted surfaces. Take precautions when handling it. Do not use fluid that has been open for some time, as it absorbs moisture from the air. Excess moisture can dangerously reduce braking efficiency.
Caution: On models equipped with ABS, disconnect the negative battery cable.
1. The procedure is similar to bleeding the hydraulic system described in Chapter Brake system, except that before starting work, you need to pump out the fluid from the brake hydraulic system reservoir using a clean siphon.
2. Acting in accordance with the description in Chapter Brake system, open the first bleed nipple and gently press the brake pedal until all the 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, passing all the other bleeding nipples in sequence. At the same time, maintain the level in the master cylinder reservoir above the "MIN" mark, otherwise air may enter the system, which will significantly complicate the task.
4. When finished, check that all bleed nipples are securely tightened and that new dust caps are installed. Wash away all traces of spilled fluid and recheck the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir.
5. Check the operation of the brakes.
