30Brake fluid
PERIODIC CHANGE OF THE BREAK FLUID
The m anufacturing conception of t he brakes equipping t he Dacia vehicles especially the
ventilated disk brake, enable the maximum diminishing of the fluid vaporization, even in case of
intensive using of brakes (mountain area), due to good disk cooling.
The brake fluids, suffer in all cases a slight degradations during the use, by a slight humidity
absorption, that makes necessary the complete replacement after a period of time or after some
driving (4 years or 60,000 driven km)
COMPLETION OF THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The wear of brakes pads and shoes, leads to a gradually diminution of brake fluid level in its
reservoir. It is useless to compensate this diminution, because the level will be restored when changing
the brake pads and shoes.
Obviously , in the meantime, the level of brake fluid in reservoir must not go down bellow the
MINI mark.
HOMOLOGATED BRAKE FLUIDS
The mixture in t he braking circuit of two non different brake fluids may leads to important
risks mainly due to gasket damage, incompatible with new fluid.
In order t o a void such risks, it is obligatory to use only bra ke fl uid re commended by the
producer, i.e. : SAEJ 1703, DOT 4.

30Braking system purging
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The vehicle is on ground, in rear axle half-loaded position.
CHECKING THE BRAKE SYSTEM SEALING
The vehicle will be idle running.
After purging the front and rear circuits, check if the level of brake fluid in reservoir is within
the MIN I and MAXI marks. Press the brake pedal and maintain it constant for 30 s, during this
time the pedal shall not change its place.
In case leaking is occurring, check by visual inspection all the elements of the braking system,
eliminate leaking and restart a.m. operations.

GEARS CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
This is to be performed after mounting the engine-gearbox assembly and the assembly lever-
control case every time when : -dismounting of the engine-gearbox assembly, the control bar or the assembly lever-control
case;
- establishing of failures such as: gear change impossibility or unexpected gear uncoupling,
gears blocking.
For the gear control adjustment the CV 550 device i s to be used.
M ount the CV 550 device on the assembly lever- control case.
A ttach the control bar to the c ontrol lever end.
Place the gear lever in the device seat and fix it in this position by means of the device handle.
Tighten the attachment screw 1 of the bar to the lever at the required moment of 1.2 daNm.
Dismount the CV 550 device from the control box.
Check the gears coupling.

INSIDE ACCESSORIES
DISMOUNTIN G
Dismount :
-s teering attachment screw ( 1) on the
steering column, by means of a screwdriver pro-
vided with TORX T50 head;
- steering wheel (2) not before bringing the
steering to the middle point (wheels are in a di-
rect line); - half-cases (3) and (4) connected be-
tween them by three screws (5) to the steering
column.
In order to dismount the under steering wheel
control from the upper shaft of the steering
w heel, loosen the screw (6) and extract the
under steering wheel control (7).

Disconnect the connectors of :
- lights, windscreen wiper;
- anti-theft mechanism;
- rotating contact.
AT T E N T I ON !
It is forbidden the handling of the pyro-
technic system near heating sources or open
fire, because there is the risk of undesirable
s tarting of the system.
IMP ORTANT !
Anytime when dismounting the steering
wheel, it is necessary to dismount the airbag
connector (1). The airbag is provided wi th
a connector who is short-circuited aft er dis-
connecting the wiring connector, avoiding
in this way all undesirable starting.
AT T E N T I ON !
It is forbidden the change of the rota-
tion c ontact position after di smounting
the under-steering wheel control assem-
bly, because there is the risk of i ts dam-
aging.
The under steering wheel control it is pro-
vided with a pre -cut self-a dhe sive tape
stacked on the rotating contact and on the
under steering wheel control body that is not
allowing the undesirable rotation of the rotat-
ing contact until its mounting on the attach-
ment cone of the steering column. In case the position of the rotating contact
is changed, then this one, is to be rotated
clockwise 2.5 complete rotations (or until it
gets blocked), then is to be rotated a nti-
clockwise 2.5 complete rotations.
