Brake Burnishing
The brakes should be properly burnishedprior to heavy track use. Excessive brakenoise may occur after the track burnish ortrack use. Perform this procedure in a safemanner on dry pavement, and incompliance with all local and stateordinances and laws regarding motorvehicle operation.
How to Burnish the Brakes
Initial low temperature bedding:
•If your brakes already have 200 mi(322 km) or more of city driving, skipthis step and go directly to the hightemperature bedding cycle procedure.Otherwise, perform at least 30 stopsfrom 50 mph (80 km/h) at 1/3 gdeceleration with 1 mi (1.2 km) spacingbetween stops. A deceleration gaugecan be accessed through theTrackApps menu in your informationdisplay.
High temperature bedding cycle:
•Beginning with cool brakes, perform 15consecutive stops back to back,accelerating at 3/4 throttle to 80 mph(128 km/h) and braking to 20 mph(32 km/h) at 1.0 g deceleration. Thebrakes may omit an odor or smokeduring this part of the procedure.
Cool down:
•Cool the brakes down by driving one ortwo laps,5 mi (8 km), at 60 mph(96 km/h) with minimal to no brakeusage.
Recovery low temperature bedding:
•Perform at least 30 stops from 50 mph(80 km/h) at 1/3 g deceleration with0.7 mi (1.2 km) spacing between stops.A deceleration gauge can be accessedthrough the TrackApps menu in yourinformation display.
