Checking the level and replacing the brake fluid (Scorpio 1)

            0

Warning: Brake fluid is highly toxic and may also damage painted surfaces.


Attention! When replacing brake fluid, you must have at least two liters of fresh brake fluid.


1. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface.

2. Turn off the ignition and press the brake pedal all the way down (about 20 times) until it becomes "hard".

3. Open the hood, turn on the ignition, this will turn on the hydraulic unit pump and after the pump stops, turn off the ignition.

4. Check the brake fluid level, which should be between the MIN and MAX marks.

5. Loosen one air bleed screw on the wheel and gently pump the brake pedal until almost all the old fluid is removed from the master cylinder. At the same time, constantly add fresh brake fluid to the reservoir to avoid air in the brake system.

6. Remove old brake fluid from the remaining wheels in the same manner.

7. After completing this work, tighten the air bleed screws and install protective caps on them, and also check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. Check the operation of the brakes while driving.
