Running in the brakes

You should run in the brakes after replacing the brake pads and/or rotors. Running in the brakes can also prevent the brakes from making a loud squeaking sound when braking, especially if the sound occurs when driving in the rain, in cold and damp climates, or if there is surface rust on the brake components. Please note that this situation can occur for any vehicle with disc brakes and that braking performance is not affected.

Before applying the brakes, navigate toControls > Service to ensure that tire pressures are within specifications. Refer to the recommended tire pressures on the label on the driver's side door pillar or in the vehicle owner's manual.

Brake engagement:

Note: Be sure to follow all local traffic safety laws and only perform maneuvers in an appropriate location where such activity is legal, with little or no traffic.

• Drive the vehicle at a speed of 50-55 mph (80-90 km/h) on a straight road.
• Hold the brake pedal down with moderate and even pressure to slowly decelerate the vehicle and release at 10 mph (15 km/h).
• Repeat the procedure six times, waiting at least 30 seconds between each time.

Note: If the sound is still there, use the mobile app to make an appointment for service.
