DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO REMOVE BRAKE
PAD DUST. THE DUST CAN BE DANGEROUS. ALWAYS USE A VACUUM BRUSH OR THE RECOMMENDED BRAKE CLEANER TO REMOVE BRAKE PAD DUST.
WA R N I N G
ALWAYS INSTALL NEW BOLTS WHEN YOU INSTALL THE BRAKE CALIPER. IF YOU DO NOT THE BOLTS
CAN BREAK AND CAUSE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE.
When you install new brake pads, install a new brake pad wear sensor.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THAT THE ALIGNMENT LINE ON THE BRAKE HOSE STAYS IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IF THE
ALIGNMENT LINE IS NOT STRAIGHT, THE BRAKE HOSE IS TWISTED. THIS CAN CAUSE IT TO FAIL.
CAUTION
ON LEFT AND RIGHT CALIPERS, THE BRAKE HOSE MUST GO TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR.

Fuel Limit Vent Valve (FLVV)
This valve contains a float which rises to cut off the path for
displaced air when the fuel level rises towards maximum
during fuel filling. This causes a rapid pressure build up in
the tank which triggers the cut-off valve in the fuel delivery
nozzle. This discourages overfilling of the fuel tank.
The FLVV also includes an over pressure relief valve set at
about 2 psi to vent the tank if all other vents fail.
Roll Over Valves
The roll over valves purpose is to vent the highest point of
the tank. If the tank is grossly overfilled (e.g. many clicks over
the normal filler nozzle cut-off), the FLVV will suffer a
hydraulic lock. The roll over vent valve allows venting of the
tank at the highest possible level in this situation.
All three valves allow the tank to breath until it is inverted
when they will close to prevent fuel spill. The fuel level vent
valve controls the fuel height of the tank by creating a
pressure spike inside the tank which shuts of the fill nozzle.
If the vehicle is inverted in an accident, this valve will close
to prevent leakage of liquid fuel.

Symptom Action
New phones will not pair
with the vehicle system

• The phone must support Bluetoot h Handsfree Profile 0.96 or
1.0.
• The system supports a maximum of 4 phones at once. Make
sure this limit is not exceeded.
• Remove all previous pairings using the ‘Remove All’
command. The system should then be restarted.
• Delete the pairing information on the phone and ensure that
the phone is removed from any other systems with which it is
paired.


Poor VR Performance

• Enter the digits in segments
• Speak with no pauses
• Talk louder
• Speak towards the direction of the microphone
• Check that the centre air vents are not facing directly up to the
microphone
System does not respond • Check LED Indicator connection
• Check the connection to the Bluetooth module.
