    CAUTION: If NEW brake rotors or pads have been installed, keep in mind that braking effectiveness might be somewhat reduced during the first brake applications following installation.
    CAUTION: A burnish procedure must be performed anytime NEW brake pads or rotors are installed on a vehicle equipped with the Police Package. This procedure is particularly important in situations where high speed pursuit is a possibility. It is recommended that the procedure be performed by the Police agency operating the vehicle so it can be performed in a safe controlled environment. This information is covered in the Police Package Owners Manual Supplement which was supplied when the vehicle was originally delivered.
  11. Road test vehicle making several stops to wear off any foreign material on brakes and to seat brake shoes. If the vehicle is equipped with the Police Package, a burnish procedure must be followed (Refer to preceding Caution).
