Standard Procedure - Brake Pad Burnishing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

After installing NEW brake pads, keep in mind that braking effectiveness might be somewhat reduced during the first brake applications.

When NEW brake pads are installed on a vehicle, this procedure must be used to correctly burnish (seat) the brake linings to the brake rotor discs.

  1. Accelerate the vehicle to a steady speed of about 40 mph (65 km/h).
  2. Using light brake pedal pressure, slow the vehicle from 40 mph to 0 mph in approximately 6 seconds.
  3. Accelerate back up to 40 mph for approximately one minute to allow the brakes to cool down.
  4. Repeat this procedure 15 to 20 times to correctly seat the brake lining material.
