Bleed the air out of the suction line when Step 2: Inhalation appears on the Techstream display.

NOTICE:

1. Bleed the air by following the steps displayed on the Techstream.
   
2. Make sure that the master cylinder reservoir tank does not become empty.
   

1. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug at the right front wheel or the right rear wheel and loosen the bleeder plug.
   

2. Operate the brake actuator to bleed the air using the Techstream (Step G).
   

   NOTICE:

   Release the brake pedal at this time.

   HINT:

   This operation stops automatically after 4 seconds.

3. Check if the operation has stopped by referring to the Techstream display and tighten the bleeder plug (Step H).
   

4. Repeat Steps G and H until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.
