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 brake
pedal pressure while braking. Please be aware
of this and adjust your driving and braking

moderate loads, you should occasionally test
the effectiveness of the brakes by applying

speeds. This will also enhance the grip of the
brake pads.
