Bedding In Brake Pads And Brake Discs

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Porsche Panamera, 2019 Porsche Panamera, 2018 Porsche Panamera, and 2017 Porsche Panamera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

New brake pads need a bedding-in time of approx. 200 km (125 miles). Only then do brake pads achieve their best friction coefficient and wear values.

During this time, only press the brake fully at high speed in emergencies.
The slightly reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal.
The same also applies after changing brake discs.
