Information
- If the pedal travel is too long or the pedal feels too soft when applied, carry out the following procedure.
- Two workers are required for this.
- Also carry out this procedure if the brake hydraulic system was largely empty.
Connect a bleeding device to the brake fluid reservoir. Switch on the bleeding device. Bleeding pressure is approx. 2.0 bar.
- Open bleeder valve at rear on right-hand side, then push the brake pedal all the way down about 5 times and tap the brake caliper gently several times with a rubber hammer during the bleeding process.
- Hold for 2 - 3 seconds after each depression, then release pedal slowly. After applying pedal for the fifth time, hold pedal down and close bleeder valve.
- Repeat this procedure in the sequence rear left/front right/front left.
- Tighten the bleeder valves to the specified tightening torque and remove the bleeder hoses.
- Remove bleeding device from brake fluid reservoir; correct brake fluid level is necessary.
- Generate vacuum in brake booster by starting engine. Check brake-pedal travel and pedal feel.
