Bleeding1. Fill brake reservoir with brake fluid
Brake fluid: HZY4 complying with GB12981Section 2 Brake FluidBrake System -Brake Fluid4-812. Bleed brake pipeline system
(1) Connect the vinyl pipe to the wheel cylinder bleeder plug port
(2) Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
(3) At the point when fluid stops flowing out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.
(4) Repeat (2) and (3) until all the air in the fluid has been bled out.
(5) Repeat the above procedure to bleed the brake pipeline of the air for each wheel cylinder.

If the clearance does not meet the requirement, check the
clearance of the brake light switch. If the clearance is correct,
make diagnosis on the braking system.
Clearance: 0.5-2.4mm
3. Check the pedal reserved distance.
Loosen the parking brake extension rod.
When the motor is running, step down the pedal, and measure the

Repair1. Discharge the brake fluid.
Note: Never spray the brake fluid on the paint surface, otherwise
wash it immediately.
2. Remove the brake master cylinder.
(1) Pull out the connector of the level alarm light switch.
(2) Slide the clip, and pull out #1 clutch storage tank pipe (manual
transaxle).
(3) Remove the two brake pipes from the brake master cylinder
with special tool.(with ABS)
