July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Bleeding Hydraulic System

  1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels clear ground.
  2. Add fluid into oil tank to specified level. Meanwhile, quickly turn steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering stoppers.

    Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer decreases.

  3. Start engine.

    Repeat step  2.

    • Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When this happens, bleed air again.
    1. Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank
    2. Generation of clicking noise in oil pump
    3. Excessive buzzing in oil pump

      Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning the steering wheel slowly. This does not affect performance or durability of the system.
