Brake Burnishing Procedure
For new vehicles or after replacement of brake pads or rotors, it is recommended that approximately 20 stops
with moderate braking from 20 mph to 5 mph should be made without coming to a complete stop. This proce-
dure will assure that your new brakes will function to their full potential and maintain maximum wear resis-
tance.
Determine and record the braking distance required to stop the vehicle for future brake performance tests.
