Note on bedding in the new brake pads

New brake pads require a slightly longer bedding−in period for PCCB brake discs than cast iron brake discs.
In general, the following applies: New brake pads must be worn in (bedding−in period), their optimum
braking effect is therefore not reached until after a few hundred kilometers. The slightly reduced braking
effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after a brake
disc change.
