You will need to push in the orange part then pull out the hose.

 Check the shock absorber for any air leaks or damage to the rubber boot.

The correct way to release the air is to use a scan tool, something like an Autel that can access all the modules. Once you hook up the scan tool and you have selected your vehicle you go to special functions and activate the button labeled "exhaust solenoid". Nothing to it.
