Brakes and Traction Control: Service and Repair

WARNING: Before bleeding the system or working on any component in the brake system, the following procedure MUST be carried out to depressurize the accumulator. Otherwise, personal injury and vehicle damage may result.

1. Switch off ignition.
2. Operate the brake pedal 30 times. Pedal travel will increase slightly and reduced resistance will be felt as pressure decreases.
3. Wait for 60 seconds, press the brake pedal four more times. This procedure will ensure that all pressure is evacuated from the system.
