–Repeat the procedure for all wheels in the following
sequence: rear left, front right and front left.
1)
–Insert strainer in the brake fluid reservoir and fill with
brake fluid up to the specified level.
–Inspect pedal position and idle travel at brake pedal.
Idle travel: max. 1/3 of pedal travel.
Vehicles with ABS or ABS/EDL:
A road test on such models must be carried out after
bleeding the brake system. While doing so perform at
least one ABS adjustment!
Inspecting the brake fluid level
Use only fresh genuine brake fluid FMVSS 571.116 DOT
4.
The brake fluid must not be above the „MAX“ marking to
prevent fluid flowing out of the reservoir.
Delivery Inspection
The brake fluid level during the delivery inspection should
be at the „MAX“ marking.
Inspection Service:
–The brake fluid level (volume) must always be as-
sessed on the basis of the brake pad wear. When driv-
ing a slight drop in the brake fluid level occurs as a
result of wear-and-tear and the automatic slack ad-
justment of the brake pads.
–If the fluid brake level is on the „MIN“ marking or slight-
ly above, it is not necessary to top up the brake fluid if
the brake pads have practically reached their wear
limit.
–If the brake pads are new or far off the brake wear lim-
it, the brake fluid level must be between the „MIN“ and
„MAX“ markings.
–If the brake fluid level has dropped below the „MIN“
marking, it is necessary to inspect the brake system
before topping up the brake fluid ⇒02-5 page 2; car-
ry out repair measure if necessary.
1)for right-hand drive vehicles the following sequence applies: rear right, front left and front right
WARNING!
Brake fluid is toxic. Because of its caustic effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with
paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs mois-
ture from the surrounding air . Therefore it
should always be stored in airtight containers.
