Bedding In The Brake Pads And Brake Discs
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Porsche Macan and 2017 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
New brake pads require a bedding-in time of approx. 200 km (124 miles)! Only then do they achieve their best friction coefficient and wear values. During this time, 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.
