    This document provides instructions for bleeding the brake system on a 2018 Acura RDX. The process involves manually bleeding each brake caliper in sequence, starting with the driver's front brake. An assistant pumps the brake pedal while the technician loosens the bleed screw to release brake fluid and air from the system. This continues until no more air bubbles are observed in the fresh brake fluid. Proper bleeding ensures the brake system is fully functional and free of air pockets.

    wash it off immediately with water.

    NOTE:

    Do not reuse the drained brake fluid. Use only new Acura
    DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container. Using a non-
    Acura brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of
    the system.
    Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets in the brake
    fluid.
    The reservoir connected to the master cylinder must be
    at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of the bleeding
    procedure and checked after bleeding each wheel. Add fluid as
    required.
    There are three different methods used for bleeding brake
    systems. The method shown here is the preferred manual
    method for removing the air from the system. For pressure
    or vacuum bleeding, refer to tool manufacturer's
    instructions included with the tool.

    screw(B)
    4. Submerge the other end of the drain tube into a
    clearplastic catch bottle of brake fluid (C)
    5. Have an assistant slowly pump the brake pedal
    severaltimes then apply steady continuous pressure
    6. Loosen the bleed screw slowly to bleed the fluid
    into theplastic catch bottle. The brake pedal will travel
    toward the floor as the fluid is bled from the system
    7. When the brake pedal reaches the floor, have
    theassistant hold the pedal in that position, then tighten the
    bleed screw. The brake pedal can now be released
    8. Check and refill the master cylinder reservoir tank
    to theMAX (upper) level line. Be sure to reinstall the master
    cylinder reservoir cap
    9. Repeat steps 5 thru 8 until the brake fluid in the
    cleardrain tube appears fresh and there are no air bubbles
    in the fluid
    10. Repeat this procedure for each brake in the
