Bleed the brake system. See BRAKE SYSTEM, BLEEDING (USING BLEEDING UNIT) .

Check if there is still air in the system by pressing down the brake pedal with a jack at a pressure equivalent to heavy braking, 200 Nm. With the engine off and the brake pedal depressed 3-4 times, the pedal travel must not exceed 40 mm.

If the pedal travel exceeds this limit, bleed again and re-check the pedal travel.

That there is no brake fluid leakage.

Remove the bleed unit connector from the brake fluid reservoir.

Check that the brake fluid level is not above the maximum marking.

Connect the battery lead.
