Bleeding the brake system


This basic setting is used when bleeding antilock brake systems (ABS) on vehicles fitted with electronic differential lock (EDL).

The basic setting is only needed when at least one of the chambers in the brake fluid reservoir has been empty, or when changing the brake fluid.

Note:

Bleeding is done in an automatic sequence of several steps, with prompts to the user, as described below. Each sequence is repeated eight times (two bleeding operations per wheel).

The recommended sequence when bleeding the brake system is as follows:
