A soft or spongy feeling in the brake ped-
al can indicate the presence of air in the
brake system. Before the vehicle is oper-
ated, the air must be removed by bleed-
ing the brake system. Air in the brake
system will considerably reduce braking
performance and could result in loss of
control and possibly an accident. There-
fore, inspect and, if necessary, bleed the
brake system.
After adjusting the brake pedal position,
make sure that there is no brake drag.
