Adjust brake valves on all 4 wheels until you have enough pressure. It will get there, had it on cars previous.

did a garage fit it? if so get em to sort it, check fluid. to test if you have air in system, turn the engine off and pump the pedal with the engine off, if it gets hard and u cannot press it then there is no air in the system
