Oil and chemical type

Caution

•  Be careful not to let brake fluid get on the paint surface. Otherwise, it could cause paint peeling. If brake fluid gets on the paint surface, wash and flush it off completely with water immediately.

Note

•  Keep the fluid level in the reserve tank at 3/4 full or more during the air bleeding.

•  Bleed the air from the brake caliper the nearest to the master cylinder.

1.  Switch the ignition ON (engine off).

2.  Release the electric parking brake.

3.  Switch the ignition off.

4.  Remove the cap from the brake fluid reserve tank and add brake fluid.

5.  Remove the bleeder cap of the brake caliper and connect the plastic hose to the bleeder screw.

6.  Place the another plastic hose into a transparent container and immerse the hose end in the brake fluid during air bleeding.

7.  Working with two people, one should pump the brake pedal several times and depress and hold the pedal down.

9.  Repeat the procedure from Steps 7 and 8 until no air bubbles are seen.

10.  Perform air bleeding for all the brake calipers using the above procedure.

Note

•  If the air bleed from the left/right rear calipers is insufficient, air bleeding can be implemented quickly by operating/releasing the electric parking brake several times while performing the work in Steps 7 and 8.

11.  Clean the bleeder screw and the caliper.

12.  After air bleeding, perform the following inspection:

•  Brake operation

•  Fluid leakage

•  Fluid level
