Manual Bleeding

1. Connect the bleed hose to bleed valve.
- Have a helper press the brake pedal at least ten times per brake caliper until free of air bubbles is visable through the transparent hose. Bleeding will not be visable until the bleed nipple has been opened.
- Bleeding must be carried out in the following sequence:

^ Right hand front wheel
^ Left hand rear wheel
^ Left hand front wheel
^ Right hand rear wheel

- When changing the brake fluid, the contents of the brake fluid reservoir must be siphoned off. The reservoir should then be filled with fresh brake fluid. Each brake caliper must be drained of the amount of fluid as follows:

^ Right hand front wheel: 0.1 L
^ Left hand rear wheel: 0.05 L
^ Left hand front wheel: 0.1 L
^ Right hand rear wheel: 0.05 L

- Check the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir to make sure the reservoir is not drained.
2. Switch ON the ignition and check that the ABS warning lamp on the dashboard goes out (cars with ABS).
- Drive the car and test the braking system, braking normally and also braking with the ABS (if equipped).
- Check the level of the brake fluid.
