Information On Bedding In New Brake Pads
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Porsche Cayenne, 2013 Porsche Cayenne, 2012 Porsche Cayenne, and 2011 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
New brake pads require a slightly longer bedding-in period for PCCB brake discs than grey cast iron brake discs.
In general, the following applies: New brake pads must be broken in (bedding-in period) and their optimum braking effect is therefore not reached until after a few hundred kilometres. The slightly reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after changing brake discs.
