C: CAUTION
Please clearly understand and adhere to the follow-
ing general precautions. They must be strictly fol-
lowed to avoid any injury to the person doing the
work or people in the area.
1. OPERATION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective
goggles and protective shoes during operation.

Brake Booster
BRAKE
Air tightness check
Start the engine, and idle it for 1 to 2 minutes, then
turn it OFF. Depress the brake pedal several times
applying the normal pedal force. The pedal stroke
should be the longest at the 1st depression, and it
should become shorter at each successive depres-
sion. If no change occurs in the pedal height when
pressed, the brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
•In case of defective operation, inspect the condi-
tion of the check valve and vacuum hose as well.
•Replace them if faulty, and perform the test
again.
•If the defective condition is not improved, check
accurately using a gauge.
Operation check
1) While the engine is OFF, depress the brake ped-
al several times applying the same pedal force, to
check for a change in pedal height.
2) With the brake pedal pressed, start the engine.
3) As the engine starts, the brake pedal should
move slowly toward the floor. If the pedal height
does not change, the brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, perform an accurate check with a gauge.
Loaded air tightness check
Depress the brake pedal while the engine is run-
ning, and turn the engine OFF while the pedal is de-
pressed. Keep the pedal depressed for 30
seconds. If the pedal height does not change, the
function of brake booster is normal. If the pedal
height increases, it is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, perform an accurate check with a gauge.
2. OPERATION CHECK (WITH GAUGE)
CAUTION:
When checking operation, be sure to apply the
parking brake securely.

11.Air Bleeding
A: PROCEDURE
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 fluids of different brands
to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
•Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to enter the
reservoir tank.
1. MASTER CYLINDER
NOTE:
•When the master cylinder is disassembled or the
reservoir tank is empty, bleed the master cylinder.
•If bleeding of the master cylinder is not neces-
sary, omit the following procedures, and perform
bleeding of the brake line. LINE, PROCEDURE, Air Bleeding.>
1) Fill the reservoir tank of the master cylinder with
brake fluid.
NOTE:
While bleeding air, keep the reservoir tank filled
with brake fluid to prevent entry of air.
2) Disconnect the brake line at primary and sec-
ondary sides.
3) Wrap the master cylinder with a plastic bag.
4) Depress the brake pedal slowly and hold it.
5) Plug the outlet plug with your finger, and then re-
lease the brake pedal.
6) Repeat the step 4) and 5) several times.
7) Remove the plastic bag.
8) Install the brake pipe to the master cylinder.
Tightening torque:
19 N·m (1.9 kgf-m, 14.0 ft-lb)
9) Bleed air from the brake line. BRAKE LINE, PROCEDURE, Air Bleeding.>
2. BRAKE LINE
1) When the master cylinder is disassembled or the
reservoir tank is empty, bleed the master cylinder
before bleeding the brake line. MASTER CYLINDER, PROCEDURE, Air Bleed-
ing.>
2) Fill the reservoir tank of the master cylinder with
brake fluid.
NOTE:
While bleeding air, keep the reservoir tank filled
with brake fluid to prevent entry of air.
3) Attach one end of the vinyl tube to the air bleeder
and the other end to the brake fluid container.
4) Depress the brake pedal several times, and
keep it pressed.
5) Loosen the air bleeder screw to drain brake fluid.
Tighten the air bleeder quickly, and release the
brake pedal.
6) Repeat the steps 4) to 5) until there are no more
air bubbles in the vinyl tube.
7) Repeat the steps from 2) to 6) above to bleed air
from each wheel.
NOTE:
Perform the operation in the order from closest
wheel cylinder to the master cylinder.
8) Securely tighten the air bleeder screws.
Tightening torque:
8 N·m (0.8 kgf-m, 5.8 ft-lb)
