Risk of accident due to lack of braking effect!
When the brakes are used for the first time after any work was performed on the braking system’s hydraulics area, the risk of an accident is increased due to an impaired braking effect.
Press the brake pedal several times to build up pressure in the brake system after finishing work on the braking system’s hydraulics area and before starting the vehicle.
| • | Hold the brake pedal in a pressed down position for approximately 30 s once pressure has been built up in the brake system, the pressure in the brake system must not drop during this time.
|

WARNING!
| |
Risk of poisoning and injury when handling brake fluid!
Swallowing brake fluid can cause symptoms of poisoning such as headaches, dizziness, stomach pains, vomiting, diarrhoea, cramps and unconsciousness.
A dose of more than 100 cm3 can have fatal consequences.
Contact with brake fluid can cause serious skin damage to unprotected skin.
Wear safety glasses and protective clothing such as rubber gloves.
| • | Ensure that brake fluid is only accessible to authorized personnel.
| | • | Store brake fluid in original containers only.
| | • | Only store brake fluid in suitable, appropriately marked containers.
| | • | Never put brake fluid in beverage containers.

WARNING!
| |
Possible fluid spills from vehicle systems during repairs or maintenance.
Risk of thermal incidents, slip hazards, corrosion of electrical components, failure of electrical or mechanical components or unwanted odours.
Always limit fluid spills and fully clean the spilled fluid after repairs or maintenance.

Fill/bleed fluid - Brake system
| | | Care Point: | The brake bleeding procedure is carried out using the MDS. The below steps reference the procedure stored on the MDS tool.
|
| | | 1. | Connect MDS to vehicle.
| | |
|
| 2. | Open brake reservoir cap (1).
| | | 
|
| | | Care Point: | Tool must deliver 2.2 bar pressure and have a minimum of 2 Litres of brake fluid to carry out procedure correctly.
|
| | | 3. | Connect pressure bleeding tool.
| | | 
|
| | | Care Point: | Pump the brake pedal during each phase of the brake bleeding procedure.
|
| Care Point: | Pedal pump frequency = 3 seconds applied to 0.5 seconds released.
|
| | | 4. | Fit bleed bottle to rear left calliper and open both inner and outer bleed screws (3, 4). (M10) 17 Nm
| | | 5. | Pump pedal until no air is present.
| | | 6. | Close bleed screws on rear left calliper (3, 4).
| | | 
|
| | | Care Point: | Pedal pump frequency = 3 seconds applied to 0.5 seconds released.
|
| | | 7. | Fit bleed bottle to front left calliper and open both inner and outer bleed screws (5, 6). (M10) 17 Nm
| | | 8. | Pump pedal until no air is present.
| | | 9. | Close bleed screws on front left calliper (5, 6).
| | | 
|
| | | Care Point: | Pedal pump frequency = 3 seconds applied to 0.5 seconds released.
|
| | | 10. | Fit bleed bottle to front right calliper and open both inner and outer bleed screws (7, 8). (M10) 17 Nm
| | | 11. | Pump pedal until no air is present.
| | | 12. | Close bleed screws on front right calliper (7, 8).
| | | 
|
| | | Care Point: | Pedal pump frequency = 3 seconds applied to 0.5 seconds released.
|
| | | 13. | Fit bleed bottle to rear right calliper and open both inner and outer bleed screws (9, 10). (M10) 17 Nm
| | | 14. | Pump pedal until no air is present.
| | | 15. | Close bleed screws on rear right calliper (9, 10).
| | | | | Care Point: | If process needs to be repeated allow the system to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes to prevent damage being caused to the braking system.
|
| | | 16. | Disconnect pressure bleeding tool.
| | | 17. | Check brake fluid level and fill to the correct level. Mobil 1 - 5.1
| | | 
|
| 18. | Close brake fluid reservoir cap (1).
| | | 19. | Check functionality.
