2017 fuel filter change

Ok guys got a quick question, I'm gunna change my fuel filters this week and my truck has a push button engine start, to purge the new filter do I just push the button without touching the brake? How many cycles to purge?

Thanks!

Correct, press and release (don't hold the button). Test it prior to changing the filters so you know the procedure. Epic is a member here and has a short video on the process.
The manual mentions no purge necessary, however I think the suggested five cycles is a great idea. I know my first gen needs more cycles than the manual says otherwise it cranks too long.

Info above is correct, I did 5-6 best as I can remember when I did mine last and fired right up.

When I do mine, I do ten purges then an extra two for good measure.
