            0

WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycerol esters and polyglycerol. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling brake fluid. If brake fluid gets into eyes, flush eyes with cold running water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. If brake fluid is swallowed, drink water and induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.


CAUTION: Make sure the vehicle is on a level, level surface.


CAUTION: If brake fluid comes into contact with the paintwork, the affected area must be immediately washed with cold water.


CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes, make sure the ground cable is disconnected from the battery.


NOTE: The system consists of separate circuits for each front wheel and the diagonally opposite rear wheel. Air can be bled from each circuit separately.


NOTE: The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is shipped filled with brake fluid. Therefore, the traditional bleeding procedure is sufficient to remove all air from the brake system.


1. Add brake fluid to the reservoir up to the MAX mark.



2.
CAUTION: Manufacturer's instructions must be strictly followed.



Bleed the brake system under pressure using suitable bleeding equipment and following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

3.
CAUTION: After bleeding the brake lines, make sure the cap is installed on the bleed nipple. This will prevent corrosion of the bleed nipple. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the bleed nipple seizing.


If necessary, add brake fluid to the reservoir up to the MAX mark.
