Checking Brake Fluid Level
ICheck fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max.
and Min. lines on reservoir tank.
IIf fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
IWhen brake warning lamp comes on even when parking brake
lever is released, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
IBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately. DO
NOT RUB IT OFF.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal.
3. Refill until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, ªBRAKE
HYDRAULIC LINEº, BR-8.
Brake Burnishing Procedure
Burnish the brake contact surfaces according to the following pro-
cedure after refinishing or replacing rotors or drums, after replac-
ing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic con-
ditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31
MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal/foot to bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust brake pedal/foot
pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5
seconds.
3. To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31
MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for 10 times or more to complete the
burnishing procedure.

Bleeding Brake System
CAUTION:
ICarefully monitor brake fluid level at master cylinder dur-
ing bleeding operation.
IIf master cylinder is suspected to have air inside, bleed air
from master cylinder first. Refer to ªInstallationº, ªMAS-
TER CYLINDERº, BR-16.
IFill reservoir with recommended brake fluid ªDOT 4º. Make
sure it is full at all the times while bleeding air out of sys-
tem.
IPlace a container under master cylinder to avoid spillage
of brake fluid.
IFor models with ABS, turn ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion and disconnect ABS fuse or battery cable.
IBleed air in the following order:
Load Sensing Valve air bleeder (Models equipped with LSV)
"
Left rear brake
"
Right rear brake
"
Left front brake
"
Right front brake
1. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal several times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, open air bleeder valve to release
air.
4. Close air bleeder valve.
5. Release brake pedal slowly.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until clear brake fluid comes out of
air bleeder valve.
7. Tighten air bleeder valve
:7-9N×m (0.7 - 0.9 kg-m, 61 - 78 in-lb)

BRAKE HYDRAULIC LINE
BR-8

Removal
CAUTION:
IUse suitable tool for assembly and disassembly of brake
lines and hoses.
IBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately. DO
NOT RUB IT OFF.
IAll hoses must be free from excessive bending, twisting
and pulling.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal.
3. Remove flare nut securing brake tube to hose, then withdraw
lock spring.
4. Cover openings to prevent entrance of dirt whenever discon-
necting hydraulic line.
Inspection
Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Installation
CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Tighten all flare nuts and connecting bolts.
Flare nut:
:9-11N×m (0.9 - 1.1 kg-m, 78 - 95 in-lb)
Connecting bolt:
:17-20N×m (1.7 - 2.0 kg-m, 12 - 14 ft-lb)
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
3. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-8.

Removal
CAUTION:
IBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately. DO
NOT RUB IT OFF.
IRemove flare nuts and LSV bolts.
Installation
CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
ICheck level in brake fluid reservoir.
1. Tighten provisionally flare nuts.
2. Tighten LSV bolts.
:20-24N×m (2.0 - 2.4 kg-m, 14 - 17 ft-lb)
3. Tighten flare nuts.
:15-18N×m (1.5 - 1.8 kg-m, 11 - 13 ft-lb)
4. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, ªBRAKE
HYDRAULIC LINEº, BR-8.
5. Adjust load sensing valve (LSV). Refer to ªInspection and
Adjustmentº, ªLOAD SENSING VALVEº, BR-12.
