Les warnings de la Clé

Once the operation is completed, you'll need pump slowly on the brake pedal a few times until feeling a strong resistance from the pedal. The aim being to bring the brake pads closer to one other.

Drive smoothly and avoid sudden braking for the first 50 kilometres or so to avoid glazing the new pads.

Make sure to check the stability of your vehicle before starting the operation.

Don't burn yourself on the pads if you've just gone for a drive as braking creates friction and long-lasting heat.

Les infos de la Clé

What do we mean by "glazing new brake pads"? Break pads are made of a material that needs to be run-in when new. If this procedure is not done properly, when braking too hard, the material overheats and hardens. Consequently, the brakes become less effective.
