elaborate run-in. But it will perform
better in the long run if you follow
these guidelines:

88 km/h (55 mph) or less for
the first 805 km (500 mi).
Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 805 km (500 mi).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting to
brake or slow the vehicle.
Avoid making hard stops for
the first 322 km (200 mi) or
so. During this time the new
brake linings are not yet
broken in. Hard stops with
new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier

replacement. Follow this
breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake
linings.
Do not tow a trailer during
run-in. See Trailer Towing
