2009 RENAULT TWINGO RS ignition

30A-4
GENERAL INFORMATION
Braking circuit: Bleed
30A
This procedure must be applied after one of the fol-
lowing components has been removed or replaced:
-the master cylinder,
-the brake fluid,
-the hydraulic unit,
-a rigid pipe,
-a hose,
-the reservoir,
-a calliper.aUse locally produced containers to collect the used
brake fluid.
Front and rear callipers:
-2 washer fluid containers (1) (1 litre),
-4 mm diameter transparent pipes (2) ,
-4 pipettes (3) ,
-2 T-unions (4) .
aPosition the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting equipment).
aSwitch off the vehicle ignition. Equipment required
pedal press
brake circuit bleeding device
IMPORTANT
To avoid all risk of damage to the systems, apply
the safety and cleanliness instructions and opera-
tion recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see 30A, General information, Brake cir-
cuit: Precautions for the repair, page 30A-2) .
WARNING
Switch off the vehicle ignition so as not to activate
the hydraulic unit solenoid valves when bleeding the
brake circuit.
WARNING
The level must be between the « MIN » and
« MAX » markings on the reservoir.

Note:
The new hydraulic unit is pre-filled.
When working on one of the following compo-
nents , position a pedal press to limit the outflow
of brake fluid and prevent any air from entering
the master cylinder and the circuits downstream
of the master cylinder:
-hydraulic unit,
-pipes between the hydraulic unit and brake cal-
lipers,
-brake hoses,
-brake calliper.
Remove the pedal press before carrying out the
braking system bleeding procedure.

REMOVAL
I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION
aUnlock the steering column.
aLock the airbag computer using the Diagnostic tool
(see Fault finding - Replacement of components)
(MR 413, 88C, Airbags - Pretensioners).
aDisconnect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Re-
fitting) (MR 411, 80A, Battery).
aSet the wheels straight ahead.
aRemove:
-the driver's front airbag (see Driver's frontal air-
bag: Removal - Refitting) (MR 411, 88C, Airbags
- Pretensioners),
-the steering wheel (see 36A, Steering assembly,
Steering wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 36A-
23) ,-the steering column switch assembly (see Steer-
ing column switch assembly: Removal - Refit-
ting) (MR 411, 84A, Steering column switch
assembly),
-the immobiliser antenna/transponder ring (see
Transponder ring: Removal - Refitting) (MR
411, 82A, Immobiliser),
-the ignition switch if the steering column is replaced
(see Ignition switch: Removal - Refitting) (MR
411, 82A, Immobiliser).
II - REMOVAL OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
aRemove the cover from the universal joint (1) (do not
keep).
aRemove:
-the universal joint bolt (2) (do not keep),
-the universal joint nut (do not keep). Equipment required
Diagnostic tool
Tightening torquesm
bolt connecting the
steering column to the
inter mediate shaft30 Nm
steer ing column bolts21 Nm
universal joint bolt24 Nm
IMPORTANT
To avoid any risk of triggering when working on
or near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pre-
tensioners), lock the airbag computer using the
diagnostic tool.
When this function is activated, all the trigger
lines are inhibited and the airbag warning light on
the instrument panel lights up continuously (igni-
tion on).
IMPORTANT
Never handle the pyrotechnic systems (preten-
sioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or
naked flame - they may be triggered.
