to stand for thirty minutes
before restarting the engine to vent any further air.
2. Note that air in the fluid can temporarily result in PAS pump
noise, but this will not cause damage. The time allowances
mentioned in the above procedures are to reduce the possibility
of a customer collecting a vehicle while still subject to
excessive pump noise.
