Bedding In The Brake Pads

New brake pads require a slightly longer bedding-in period for PCCB brake discs than cast iron brake discs.

In general, the following applies: New brake pads must be worn in (bedding-in period), their optimum braking effect is not reached until after a few hundred kilometers. The slightly reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after changing brake discs.
