–
| With the engine off press down brake pedal repeatedly with force (this reduces the pressure already present in the device). |
–
| Now hold the brake pedal in brake position using a medium foot pressure and start the engine. |
If the brake servo unit operates perfectly the brake pedal must yield noticeably under your foot (servo boost takes effect). |
–
| If there are any complaints, replace the brake servo unit. |

Check the operation of the brake assistance |
–
| With the engine running (full vacuum support must be guaranteed) forcefully apply the brake pedal. While doing so, a "click" must be audible (the brake assistance is activated). |
If no "click" is audible, then the brake assistance is defective and the brake servo unit must be replaced completely. |
When subsequently releasing the brake pedal, a considerably reduced force is exerted onto the foot from the brake pedal when braking. |
