AHB Brake System Bleeding Procedure: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Niro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Do not reuse the drained fluid.
- Always use genuine DOT3/DOT4 brake Fluid. Using a non-genuine DOT3/DOT4 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
- Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
- Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
- When bleeding air, make sure the brake fluid is above 10mm starting from the "MIN" line.
- To remove the reservoir tank cap to refill the brake fluid, always close the air shut-off valve of the SST.
- Improper SST tank cap installation, can damage reservoir threads and allow fluids to leak when performing fluid circulation mode.
