Bedding In Brake Pads And Brake Discs

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2023 Porsche Panamera, 2022 Porsche Panamera, 2021 Porsche Panamera, 2020 Porsche Panamera, and 2019 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.
