Bedding In The Brake Pads And Brake Discs

New brake pads require a bedding-in period of approx. 200 km (124 miles)! Only then do they achieve their best friction and wear coefficient. During this period, the brakes should be subjected to full stress when travelling at high speed only in emergencies. The slightly reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after replacing or machining brake discs.
