CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

for Manual Transaxle:
Move the shift lever to neutral and apply the parking brake before replacing the brake fluid.
for CVT:
Move the shift lever to P and apply the parking brake before replacing the brake fluid.
Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while replacing the brake fluid.
If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately wash it off.

HINT:

If any work is performed on the brake system or if air in the brake lines is suspected, bleed the brake system.

PROCEDURE

*a	Hook
*b	Clip

(b) Disengage the 2 claws and 3 guides to remove the center No. 1 cowl top ventilator louver from the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly.

2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID

NOTICE:

Do not remove the filter from the brake master cylinder reservoir and be sure to fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with new brake fluid to avoid any potential contamination of the brake system. Contamination, for example by dirt particles or mineral oil, could lead to functional brake problems.
Make sure that there is sufficient brake fluid in the reservoir.

3. BLEED BRAKE LINE

NOTICE:

Bleed the brake line of the wheel farthest from the master cylinder first.
Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brake lines.

(a) Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

(b) Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.*1

(d) Repeat steps *1 and *2 until all the air in the brake fluid is completely bled out and new brake fluid comes out.

(e) Tighten the bleeder plug completely.

Torque:

Front brake :

7.5 N·m {76 kgf·cm, 66 in·lbf}

Rear brake (for TMC Made) :

8.3 N·m {85 kgf·cm, 73 in·lbf}

Rear brake (for TMMT Made) :

11 N·m {112 kgf·cm, 8 ft·lbf}
