- In order to bed the brake pads to the brake disc and ensure performance and endurance, the vehicle user must be instructed to avoid heavy braking or sustained periods with the brakes applied, for the first 200km (124 mile) after installing new pads.
- Re-setting of the parking brake is necessary after overhauling the caliper body, or if the brake calipers, caliper body, parking brake cable or brake discs have been changed.
