After the test, the brake system must be bled with the filling and bleeding device connected. For this, a second operator is necessary:
–  Strongly press and hold the brake pedal with your foot.
–  Open the plug on the right side of the rear brake caliper.
–  Press deeply the brake pedal to the stop.
–  Close the plug while still holding the brake pedal.
–  Slowly release the brake pedal.
This bleeding procedure must be carried out 5 times per brake caliper.
–  Remove the plugs in the sequence determined and ventilate the brake cylinder/caliper.
Bleeding sequence
1 - Right rear brake cylinder/caliper
2 - Left rear brake cylinder/caliper
3 - Right front brake caliper

A test drive must be carried out after the bleeding. This drive must include at least one ABS-controlled braking!
