Brake pad conditioning refers to which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brake pad conditioning refers to breaking-in or bedding the pads after installation. This involves seating the friction material on the rotor surface through a process of controlled heating and cooling cycles. This helps to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor for improved braking performance and reduced noise and vibration. Installing lubricant on the pads to prevent noise (A) and retracting the piston into the caliper bore (D) are not related to brake pad conditioning. Resurfacing the brake rotors (B) may be necessary if they are worn or damaged, but it is not part of the process of conditioning brake pads.
