Why is burnishing the brake pads and brake discs essential after servicing the brake disc system on Chevrolet Cobalt?

Making sure to burnish the brake pads and brake discs is important after a disc brake service, especially if the brake discs have been refinished or replaced, or the brake pads have been changed. Make sure you are on a gentle roadway with almost no vehicles, then gently increase the car's speed to 48 km/h (30 mph). Take care that the brakes do not get too hot while burning in the brake pads. Press down firmly on the brake pedal, but not so much that the brakes lock, to slow and stop the car. Keep doing the acceleration and braking process until the vehicle has come to a stop approximately 20 times, making sure there is enough time for cooling between each stop.

Chevrolet Cobalt Brake Pad are crucial parts of the car's braking system that help the car to come to a halt by rubbing the rotating brake discs. These pads are metallic and synthetic in nature including copper, steel or aluminum alloy to have tolerance to heat since the pads mainly function through friction to transfer kinetic energy to thermal energy. Generally, there are two pads for every rotor and they are operated by a caliper that is located very close to it. Brakes have pads which get worn out and need replacement in certain period of time, and there are warning lights that signal the driver that is the time to replace them. It is essential to teach about the brake pads' variations named as non-metallic, semi-metallic, fully metallic, and ceramic are regarding friction material, wear, operation noise. This is why the brake pads should be maintained as frequently and as accurately as stated in the owners' manual to prevent things such as brake fade or more rotor wear.
