Break-In Procedure
To get the most out of your new brakes, follow this break-in procedure:
- Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in quick succession without allowing the brakes to cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop; if necessary, shift into park or let the vehicle roll slightly.
- Next, complete 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.
- Finally, drive normally for about 5 minutes at moderate speed to allow the brakes to cool to standard operating temperature. Avoid using water to cool the brakes, as this can cause damage.
