- Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph to 10 mph in quick succession without allowing the brakes to cool completely. Avoid coming to a full stop if possible.
- Continue with 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again without letting the brakes cool. You may notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
- After these stops, drive at moderate speed for about 5 minutes to cool the brakes without coming to a complete stop.
- Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use the brakes normally. Never cool your brakes with water, as this can cause damage.
