Install the brake pads and rotors correctly

Make sure the brakes are clean and free of grease or contaminants

Find a safe, open road with little traffic

Accelerate to a moderate speed

Brake firmly down to a low speed without stopping completely

Repeat several times to heat the brakes evenly

Make a few harder stops from higher speed if recommended by the brake manufacturer

Avoid coming to a complete stop while the brakes are very hot

Drive at speed without braking to let the brakes cool between stops

Repeat the full bedding procedure as specified by the brake and pad manufacturer

Let the brakes cool completely before normal use
