Bleeding Brake System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lexus ES 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Wash off brake fluid immediately if it comes into contact with a painted surface.

NOTE: If any work is done on the brake system or if air in the brake lines is suspected, bleed the air from the system. When bleeding, keep the amount of fluid within the line of the reservoir between Min. and Max. Use only SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 brake fluid.

NOTE: If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder. See MASTER CYLINDER .
