Draining Brakes instructions

Post by Oreste »

Hi I have a Volvo S40 2001 1.9 t. I recently replace brake pads and discs in the front and the back and I have noticed that the brake pedal goes to low..... does the system have have air ?.... can you tell me how to drain it? ..... I am afraid that in case of emergency it won't brake good.

I will really appreciate your help in this matter.

Greetings
