driving off. Perform this procedure only

New vehicle brake pads and discs, and
replacement brake pads and discs may take
several hundred miles of driving until they
provide optimum braking efficiency. Until
that time, you may need to use increased

Warm up the engine smoothly. Do not

will cause your vehicle’s brakes to wear
more quickly.
