BRAKESBLEEDING THE BRAKESXSARA PICASSO
Tools.Bleeding equipment of type «LURO» or similar.IMPERATIVE: For bleeding the secondary circuit, use ELIT, LEXIA or PROXIA diagnostic tools.
Draining.
Drain the brake fluid reservoir as empty as possible using a syringe.
Disconnect the brake fluid warning lamp connector.Retrieve the brake fluid reservoir from its supply pipes by pulling upwards.
Finish emptying the reservoir of brake fluid.
Clean the brake fluid reservoir.
Refit the brake fluid reservoir.
Reconnect the brake fluid warning lamp connector.
Filling.Refill the reservoir with brake fluid.WARNING:Use only the recommended hydraulic fluids.
Bleeding.
NOTE:Two technicians are required.
IMPERATIVE:During bleed operations, ensure that the level of brake fluid is maintained in the
reservoir and top it up, use only new brake fluid.
Bleed each wheel cylinder, proceeding in the following order:
Rear right hand wheel.
Front left hand wheel.
Rear left hand wheel.
Front right hand wheel.

ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM
CHARGING CIRCUIT ALTERNATOR WITH MONO FUNCTION REGULATOR
Checking the alternator output.
Connect as shown in the diagram opposite, using an ammeter (A), a voltmeter (V),
and a rheostat
(R)or a Volt/Ammeter/Rheostat combination.
Referring to the vehicle’s equipment specification
(see table opposite), adjust the
engine speed and rheostat charge to obtain
U = 13.5 V.
Reminder:The excitation energising current will flow through the warning lamp;
check that the warning lamp comes on when the ignition is switched on. It shouldgo out when the engine has started
(accelerate slightly).
Checking the voltage regulator.
Set the rheostat to zero and disconnect all the electrical consumers.
Display
3000alternator rpm. If U alternator is > 14.7 V, the regulator is faulty.
Note:These tests should be performed with the engine hot and the battery fully
charged.
Method of reading the alternator speed.
Fit a reflecting shim on the pulley of the alternator.
Adjust a stroboscope to the frequency equivalent to the control speed.
(e.g. 2000 rpm = 2000/60 = 83 Hz).
Adjust the engine speed so that the shim appears fixed.
