Checking the level and replacing the brake fluid

            0

Warning! Brake fluid is highly toxic and can damage painted surfaces.


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


1. Park the vehicle on a level, level surface.

2. Switch off the ignition and depress the brake pedal as far as it will go (about 20 times), until she becomes "solid".

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

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

5. Loosen one bleeder screw on the wheel and gently rock the brake pedal until almost all of the old fluid is expelled from the brake master cylinder. At the same time, constantly add fresh brake fluid to the reservoir so as not to air the brake system.

6. Remove the old brake fluid from the other wheels in the same way.

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