Brake pads are a crucial component in a car's operation, directly impacting vehicle safety. To ensure proper brake pad function and extend their lifespan, a proper break-in period is necessary after installing or replacing new brake pads. The brake pad manufacturer will explain the correct break-in procedure below.
First, before breaking in, ensure all other components of the braking system are functioning correctly, such as the brake discs, brake fluid, and brake calipers. Only proceed with the brake pad break-in if all other components are in good working order.
Second, avoid sudden and high-speed braking before the break-in period to prevent overheating and damage to the brake pads. In the early stages of break-in, the brake pads haven't fully adapted to the brake disc surface, so drive cautiously and avoid overly aggressive braking.
