Brake fluid change (60,000 km/36 months)

The operation to replace the brake fluid is similar to the operation of pumping the brakes (see subsection 12.6) except that the brake fluid reservoir must be emptied of old brake fluid.

Attention! Old brake fluid is darker in color than new.

1. Open the first bleed valve and pump the brake pedal until the old brake fluid comes out of the brake master cylinder.

2. Add brake fluid to the MAX mark in the reservoir and bleed again until new brake fluid appears in the bleeder, then screw the bleeder.

3. Bleed the brake circuits of the remaining wheels in the same way.

Attention! When bleeding, do not allow the brake fluid level in the reservoir to drop below the MIN·mark. Otherwise, air may enter the hydraulic brake system.

4. Check the reliability of tightening the bleeder fittings, install dust caps on them and wipe off traces of brake fluid.

5. Check the operation of the brake system when the vehicle is moving at low speed.
