- Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in rapid succession without letting the brakes cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop if possible.
- Continue with 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again in quick succession. You may notice a smell as the brakes heat up.
- After the initial stops, drive for about 5 minutes at moderate speed without excessive braking to allow the brakes to cool down.
