- shape of connecting points on components (B),
- shape of unions (C): 11 mm hexagonal.
Precautions to be taken before and during the brake
circuit bleeding operation:
- use brake fluid which conforms to the Renault stan-
dard (see Vehicle: Parts and ingredients for the re-
pairwork) (04B, Consumables - Products),
- check the brake fluid levels in the brake circuit and the
bleeding device,
- the braking regulation circuit must be free from all hy-

Note:
WARNING
The new hydraulic unit is pre-filled.
The level must be between the « MIN » and
« MAX » markings on the reservoir. When working on one of the following compo-
nents, position a pedal press to limit the outflow
of brake fluid and prevent any air from entering
the master cylinder and the circuits downstream
of the master cylinder:

- pipes between the hydraulic unit and brake cal-
lipers,

To avoid weakening the pipe, either bend once or

Do not install a rigid pipe on a vehicle that may

Brake fluid: Specifications 30A
BRAKE FLUID REPLACEMENT INTERVAL
Our braking technology, and in particular the disc bra-
kes (hollow pistons which conduct little heat, have a
low volume of fluid in the cylinder, sliding callipers avoi-
ding the need for a fluid reserve in the least cooled
area of the wheel), has allowed us to prevent the risk of
« vapour lock » as far as possible, even with heavy
braking (mountainous area). However, current brake
fluids are subject to minor deterioration during the first
months of use due to slight humidity intake. This is why
it is recommended that you change the brake fluid: see
maintenance booklet for the vehicle.

I - PREREQUISITES FOR WHEEL BALANCING
a Wheel balancing is a measurement operation.
Several conditions must be met to achieve a reliable
result in a single operation.
The wheel balancer must be installed in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
It is essential to calibrate the balancer according to
the frequency recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not grease the threaded shaft.
Check the condition of the supports, centring com-
ponents and mountings.
Replace any faulty parts (see manufacturer's ins-
tructions).
The wheel and the wheel balancer must be clean.
Driver's perception

WARNING
If checking the pressure when hot, increase the tyre
inflation pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar above the
recommended pressure.
WARNING
In order to remove any flat spots on the tread after

II - BLEED OPERATION
Essential equipment
1 - Bleed procedure using the brake circuit
brake circuit bleeding device bleeding tool
a Keep the clutch pedal in the upper position.
Note:
- Even the tiniest air bubble in the circuit can cause
faulty operation (pedal failing to return properly,
crunching sound when changing gear, etc.).
- Incorrect bleeding can lead to incorrect detection
of faults and unnecessary part replacements.
Note:
The clutch circuit must be bled with approved brake
fluid (see Vehicle: Parts and ingredients for the
repairwork) (04B, Consumables - Products).
WARNING
Prepare for the flow of fluid, and protect the sur-
rounding components.
