CAUTIONDo 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 fluid of different brands to prevent fluid performance from degrading. Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to enter the reservoir tank.

Note. During the operation, keep the reservoir tank filled with brake fluid to prevent entry of air. Operate the brake pedal slowly. For convenience and safety, perform the work with 2 people. The required amount of brake fluid is approximately 500 m fi (16.9 US fl oz, 17.6 Imp fl oz) for the entire brake system.

  1. Lift up the vehicle and set rigid racks at the specified locations, or keep the vehicle lifted.
