NOTE : Vacuum Assistance : The hydraulic brake system of your
car is assisted by a vacuum booster which reduced the effort of
driver during braking. In the unlikely event of disruption in supply of
vacuum to the booster (e.g. stoppage of engine, or failure of vacuum
hose) this assistance will still be available but only for one or two
brake applications to bring the vehicle to a stop. Beyond this, vacuum
assistance will not be felt by the driver and brakes will appear to be
hard/ineffective. In order to stop the vehicle effectively the driver will
have to apply a much higher force on the brake pedal (roughly 5
times the normal effort)
Never drive the vehicle in engine switched "OFF" condition.
BLEEDING PROCEDURE FOR BRAKE SYSTEM :
1. Clean all dirt from around reservoir filler cap.
2. Fill reservoir with fresh brake fluid to lower
edge of filler neck.
3. Attach bleed tube to left front caliper bleed screw and dip the
other end in jar of fresh brake fluid.
4. Start engine and open the bleed screw by 1/2 to 3/4 of turn.
5. Depress foot pedal slowly and fully. After tightening the bleed
screw, allow it to return slowly.
6. Wait for 3-4 seconds before next stroke.
7. Repeat until bubbles stop emanating from bleed tube.
8. Close bleed screw immediately after the last downward stroke
of pedal and hold pedal.
