CHECKING THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE PRESSURE
Checking the valve sealing.
Remove the under-engine shield.
Move aside the heat shield from the steering mechanism.
Slacken the unions (2)on the power steering ram.
Uncouple the two supply pipes (3)from the distributor valve and move them aside.
Fit on the distributor valve the two plugs [8], tighten to 0,8 m.daN.
Move the steering slowly from lock to lock, to drain the ram.
Top up the level of the power steering fluid.
Open the tap [5].
Stop the engine.
Maintain the engine speed at accelerated idle.
Hold the wheels on full lock, first on one side then on the other.
The pressure should adjust to 105 ± 5 bars.
The pressure is correct: replace the steering mechanism.
The pressure is lower than the values above: replace the distributor valve.
Couple the two supply pipes (3)on the distributor valve; tighten to 0,8 m.daN.
Retighten the unions (2)on the power steering ram; tighten to 0,8 m.daN.
Remove the union [7]on the high pressure pipe (1)and the union [6]on the power steering
electropump.
Refit:
- the high pressure pipe (1); tighten to 2 ± 0,2 m.daN.
- the screen wash reservoir, the front RH splash-shield and the front RH wheel.

STEERING
CHECKING THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE PRESSURE
Fill the power steering reservoir to the max.mark «a»on the cap (4).
Engine stopped, move the steering slowly from lock to lock, in both directions approx. ten times.
Top up the fluid to the max. mark «a»on the cap (4).
Run the engine at idle for 3 minutes, without any action on the steering wheel.
Move the steering from lock to lock, until there is no longer any tight spot.
Top up the level if it again goes down.
Bleed the circuit by moving the steering several timesin each direction.
Top up the level if it again goes down.
IMPERATIVE: Use new power steering fluid for both filling and topping-up the circuit.

BRAKES
BLEEDING AND FILLING THE BRAKING SYSTEM
Bleeding the braking circuit with the bleed apparatus.
Connect the bleed apparatus [1]on the brake fluid reservoir (4).
Adjust the apparatus pressure to 2 bars.
For each brake circuit:
- Couple a transparent tube on the bleed screw.
- Submerge the other end of the tube in a clean container.
- Open the bleed screw.
- Wait until the brake fluid flows out without air bubbles.
- Close the bleed screw.
- Remove the bleed apparatus [1].
Check the level of the brake fluid
(between the «DANGER»level and the «MAXI»level).
Fill if necessary with the the approved and recommended synthetic brake fluid.

BRAKESBLEEDING AND FILLING THE BRAKING SYSTEM
Bleeding the braking circuit without the bleed apparatus.
NOTE:Two operators are necessary.
For each brake circuit:
- Apply the brake pedal to place the circuit under pressure.
- Couple a transparent tube on the bleed screw.
- Submerge the other end of the tube in a clean container.
- Open the bleed screw.
- Wait until the fluid flows out without air bubbles.
- Close the bleed screw.
NOTE:Recommence the process a second timeif that is necessary.
Check the level of the brake fluid
(between the «DANGER»level and
the «MAXI»level).
Fill if necessary with the the approved and recommended synthetic
brake fluid.Bleeding the secondary braking circuit.
WARNING: During the bleed operations: take care to maintain the
level of the brake fluid in the reservoir, keep it topped up.
NOTE:The bleed apparatus [1]is still connected on the brake fluid
reservoir (4).
Use the diagnostic tools [2]or [3].
Select the menu corresponding to the vehicle:
- ABSmenu
(according to equipment).- ESPmenu (according to equipment).
Follow the instructions of the diagnostic tool.
At the end of the bleed programme, check the level of the brake fluid,
top up if necessary.
Check the travel of the brake pedal: it must not be excessive. If it is,
restart the bleed procedure.
