Chevrolet 2014 Camaro Owner's Manual page 203

Caution
During a first time track or racing
event, high rear axle
temperatures can occur. Damage
could be caused to the rear axle
and would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Do not drive as long or as fast the
first time the vehicle is driven on
the track or raced.
For extended track use, GM
recommends installing a rear
differential cooler to protect the rear
axle. This excludes the ZL1 as it
has a rear differential cooler as
standard equipment.
1LE comes with an oil control kit
that should be installed for track use
only, to ensure proper oil control
and prevent engine damage. This is
not for street use. This kit may also
be purchased from your dealer.
Caution
Extended track operation without
this kit installed may result in a
low oil level and could result in
engine damage.
To prepare the Camaro ZL1 or 1LE
brake system for track events and
racing, the high performance brake
burnish described below should be
completed.
Brake Burnishing
New brake pads must be burnished
before racing or other competitive
driving.
Caution
These procedures are specific to
the ZL1 or Camaro SS brake
package. This procedure should
not be run on other Camaro
models as damage may result.
Driving and Operating
Caution
The new vehicle break-in period
should be completed before
performing the brake burnish
procedure or damage may occur
to the powertrain/engine. See
New Vehicle Break-In on
page 9-16.
When performed as instructed,
these procedures will not damage
the brakes. During the burnishing
procedure, the brake pads will
smoke and produce an odor. The
braking force and pedal travel may
increase. After the procedure is
complete, the brake pads may
appear white at the rotor contact.
Run this procedure in a safe
manner and in compliance with all
local and state ordinances/laws
regarding motor vehicle operation.
Run this procedure only on dry
pavement.
