Burnishing the brake pads and brake rotors is necessary to ensure that the braking surfaces are properly prepared after service has been performed on the disc brake system. You should select a smooth road with little or no traffic, accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph), apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop, and repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed and allow sufficient cooling periods between stops to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors.
