Brake System Air Bleeding
In case of brake caliper and brake line replacement, perform the air bleeding procedures.
NOTE:
- Do not reuse the drained fluid.
- Always use genuine DOT4 brake Fluid. Using a non-genuine DOT4 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
- Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
- Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
- When bleeding air, make sure the brake fluid is above 10 mm (0.39 in) starting from the "MIN" line.
- To remove the reservoir tank cap to refill the brake fluid, always close the air shut-off valve of the SST.
- Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal to turn off IEB ECU.
- Refill the reservoir to MAX (upper) level line.
Brake fluid: DOT 4
- Set the air bleeding tool (SST: 09580-3D100) and the cap of SST (0K585-E8100) to reservoir tank and make pressure (3 bar) to it.
- Lock the bleed screw after stepping on brake pedal 10 - 20 times in condition of break fluid has been drained out for 10 seconds after opening each bleed screws (A).
Tightening torque:
Front air bleeding screw (Mando 18 inch): 13.7 - 19.6 N.m (1.4 - 2.0 kgf.m, 10.1 - 14.5 lb-ft)
Front air bleeding screw (Continental 19 inch): 11.8 - 17.7 N.m (1.2 - 1.8 kgf.m, 8.7 - 13.0 lb-ft)
Rear air bleeding screw: 6.9 - 12.7 N.m (0.7 - 1.3 kgf.m, 5.1 - 9.4 lb-ft)
NOTE:- To improve the work efficiency bleed the air in the following order: FR → FL → RL → RR.
- If the brake fluid goes below 'MIN' while working, remove the pressure feeder and mount the pressure feeder after filling the brake fluid in the reservoir.
- Repeat the procedure for wheel in the sequence shown below until air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid.
- Be careful not to open the bleed screw too much as the air may get inside the pipe.

- Remove the air bleeding tool carefully.
- Refill the reservoir to "MAX" level line.
- Connect the negative (-) battery terminal to turn on IEB ECU.
- Repeat the above procedure if air leaking process has not done properly after the procedure is done.
