It depends on how the pad is finished when produced, but here is a guide froma company that produced 55 million sets of pads per year.
In order to maximise the benefits FERODO brake pads offer the driver, it is essential they are bedded in correctly.
1. Accelerate vehicle to 60KPH. (37MPH)
2. Apply brake using moderate pedal pressure, reduce speed to 5kph (do not stop if possible)
3. Repeat setp 1 and 2 between 8 and 10 times allowing 0.3 to 0.6 km between brake applications.
4. Avoid strong pedal pressure for the first 200km. After completing bedding in procedure, the vehicle can be driven like you stole it (or in a normal manner).
Adherence to this necessary procedure will optimize the performance of the FERODO asbestos-free disc brake pad.
