Installing Rear Brake Disc
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Information
New brake pads and brake discs require a bedding-in period of several hundred kilometres! Only then do they achieve their best friction coefficient and wear value!
The slightly reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal.
