III - CHECKING THE ELECTRICAL OPERATION OF
THE PART
aCheck that the brake light switch is operating cor-
rectly:
-depress the brake pedal to switch on the lights,
-release the brake pedal to switch off the lights.
aConnect the Diagnostic tool
aDepress the brake pedal by 10 mm.
aCheck that the first signal of the switch has not
switched (the first signal does not illuminate the
bulbs).

A poorly adjusted parking brake:
-prevents correct operation of the automatic compen-
sation system for the brake shoes,
-causes premature wear of brake shoes.
ADJUSTMENT
I - ADJUSTMENT PREPARATION OPERATION
aPosition the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) .
aApply the parking brake five times to condition the
cables for normal use.
aPut the parking brake lever into the released posi-
tion.
aCheck that the rear wheels turn freely. If they do not,
check the following components and if necessary re-
pair:
-the parking brake cables,
-the calliper piston,
-the automatic compensation system,
-calliper
aRemove the rear wheels (see 35A, Wheels and ty-
res, Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) .
aRemove:
-the heat shield clips (1) ,
-the heat shield (2) .II - OPERATION FOR ADJUSTMENT OF PART
CONCERNED
aLoosen the nut (2) to release the cables.
aPosition the parking brake lever at the 2nd notch.
aMove the adjustment nut until the disc or drum can
no longer be turned by hand.
aPull the brake lever several times.
aPut the parking brake lever into the released posi-
tion.
aThe disc or the drum must be able to turn freely. If
not, move the nut gradually until the disc or drum
can turn freely.
aRefit the rear wheels (see 35A, Wheels and tyres,
Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) .

III - BLEED PROCEDURE IF NO PARTS OF THE
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT ARE REMOVED
1 - Bleed using the ARC50.
aKeep the clutch pedal in the upper position using a
strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure conti-
nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.aConnect the brake circuit bleeding device (after
having received Renault approval) to the master cyl-

aRemove the bleed plug from the clutch slave cylin-
der.
aConnect a transparent pipe to the bleed hole running
to an empty container placed under the bleed hole.
aOpen the bleed screw.
aOpen the circuit between the bleeding device and
the brake fluid reservoir.
aLet the brake fluid run until all air bubbles have been
released.
aStop the bleeding device to dump the pressure in the
clutch circuit.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir after disconnecting the bleed device.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.
aCheck that the clutch system is operating correctly.
aRepeat the bleed operation if necessary.
aCheck the adjustment of the switch. (see 37A, Me-
chanical component controls, Clutch pedal
switch: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-52) (37A,

aFill the brake fluid master cylinder reservoir until
brake fluid flows out of the bleed screw.
aConnect a new hydraulic circuit bleed syringe
filled with a useful volume of 60 ml of approved
brake fluid to the end of the transparent pipe.
aSlowly inject the entire contents of the syringe into
the hydraulic clutch circuit without injecting any of
the air from the top section of the syringe.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.

Note:
Take care not to disrupt the adjustment of the
clutch start of travel switch.
Note:
The transparent pipe must remain at the same
height as the master cylinder reservoir to prevent
air from entering inside the clutch circuit.
WARNING
The master cylinder pipe must be disconnected
from its take-off point on the br ake fluid reservoir,
to avoid any foreign matter penetrating inside the
hydraulic brake circuit.
WARNING
Prepare for the fl ow of fluid and protect the sur-
rounding components.
Note:
Prefill the hydraulic circuit pipe equipped with a
filter.
Position the filter head facing downwards to
ensure that it fills.
