Note. Change pads which are shiny or vitrified.

Operate the brake pedal repeatedly so that the pads bed in under the action of the brake pistons.

Check that the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir is between the MIN and MAX marks. If this is not the case, unscrew the reservoir cap (4) and top up with brake fluid.

Caution! Running in new pads. New pads must be run-in carefully for the first hundred kilometers / 62 miles to allow the friction material to bed in completely.
