Best Answer

The stopping power will be reduced significantly if a lot of air is trapped in the system. This is because air compresses much more easily than brake fluid. Often, the air trapped in the system will work its way out, but this may leave the fluid reserve very low. Therefore, the reserve should be checked after the brakes are bled and after the car has been driven a couple times.
