Brake Fluid: Replacement

CAUTION:
  • Do not let brake fluid come into contact with the painted surface of the vehicle body. Wash away with water immediately and wipe off if it is spilled by accident.
  • Avoid mixing brake fluid of different brands to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
  • Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to enter the reservoir tank.
  • If brake fluid adheres to the exhaust pipe, wipe it off completely.
NOTE:
  • During the operation, keep the reservoir tank filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air.
  • The brake pedal operating must be very slow.
  • For convenience and safety, two people should work together.
  • The required amount of brake fluid is approximately 500 m l (16.9 US fl oz, 17.6 Imp fl oz)  for the entire brake system.
  1. Either jack-up the vehicle and place a rigid rack under it, or have the vehicle lifted.
  2. Remove both front and rear wheels.
  3. Drain the brake fluid from the reservoir tank.
  4. Refill the reservoir tank with recommended brake fluid.

    Recommended brake fluid: 

    Refer to "General Description".  <Ref. to SPECIFICATION , General Description.>

    Repeat the steps until new fluid flows through vinyl tube, as like the brake line air bleeding procedure. <Ref. to PROCEDURE , Air Bleeding.>

    NOTE: Perform brake fluid replacement starting in the order from the farthest wheel cylinder from the master cylinder.
