BRAKE SYSTEM – CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
4. CHECK THAT PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE IS COR–
RECT
Release the parking brake.
With the engine running, depress the pedal and meas–
ure the pedal reserve distance.
Pedal reserve distance from asphalt sheet at 490 N
(50 kgf, 110.2 lbf):
More than 70 mm (2.76 in.)
If the reserve distance is incorrect, troubleshoot the
brake system.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATIONAL TEST
1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the brake pedal several times with the engine
off and check that there is no change in the pedal
reserve distance.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine. If the
pedal goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
(a) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes.
Depress the brake pedal several times slowly. If the
pedal goes down farthest the 1 st time, but gradually
rises after the 2nd or 3rd time, the booster is air tight.
(b) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is running,
and stop the engine with the pedal depressed. If there
is no change in the pedal reverse travel after holding
the pedal for 30 seconds, the booster is air tight.
BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING

face. Wash it off immediately.
