It is likely that although one judges fluid leakage, there
is actually no leakage. This is because the fluid spilt
during the last maintenance was not completely wiped
off. Be sure to wipe off spilt fluid thoroughly after
maintenance.

lem. If a customer complains strongly and is not likely to be satisfied with the leakage, lower the fluid level to the extent that
fluid will not bleed out under the conditions described, and have the customer check the fluid level and its quality more fre-
quency than usual.

12. Brake Fluid Replacement
NOTE:
To always maintain the brake fluid characteristics, replace
the brake fluid according to maintenance schedule or ear-
lier than that when used in severe condition.
A: REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:

The FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid
must be used.

Cover bleeder with waste cloth, when loosening it,
to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over sur-
rounding parts.

Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to pre-
vent degrading the quality of the fluid.

Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the
reservoir tank.
NOTE:

During bleeding operation, keep the brake reserve tank
filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air.

Brake pedal operating must be very slow.

For convenience and safety, it is advisable to have two
man working.

The amount of brake fluid required is approximately 500
m
(16.9 US fl oz, 17.6 Imp fl oz) for total brake system.
1) Either jack-up vehicle and place a safety stand under it,
or lift-up vehicle.
2) Remove both front and rear wheels.
3) Draw out the brake fluid from reserve tank with syringe.
4) Refill reservoir tank with recommended brake fluid.
Recommended brake fluid:
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid

1. Safety Precautions
1. HFC-134a AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Component parts of the cooling system, refrigerant, com-
pressor oil, and other parts are not the same for the HFC-
134a system and the older CFC-12 system. Do not inter-
change parts or liquid.
Vehicles with HFC-134a air conditioning systems, use only
HFC-134a parts that are indicated on a label attached to
the vehicle. Before performing any maintenance, verify the
type of air conditioning system installed in the vehicle.
B4M0780
2. COMPRESSOR OIL
Do not use any compressor oil that is not specifically des-
ignated for the HFC-134a air conditioning system; only use
ZXL200PG. Also, do not use HFC-134a compressor oil in
the CFC-12 air conditioning system. If compression oils are
mixed, poor lubrication will result and the compressor itself
may be damaged.
Because HFC-134a compressor oil is very hygroscopic
(easily absorbs moisture), when parts of the air condition-
ing system are being removed, quickly install a blind plug
to prevent contact with the outside air. Also, always make
sure that the service container for compressor oil is tightly
closed except when in use. Store compressor oil in a tightly
closed steel container.
