Carbon Ceramic Brake Burnishing

In reading thru the CT5 owner's manual, there are instructions for burnishing the carbon ceramic brakes.

@Mirza Grebovic Is this done at the factory or do we need to do this on our own?

Why does my 2026 manual have a far more gingerly procedure? Did pad materials change? It basically says at the end “but do it the old way if you have to”

Looks like this procedure is for corrosion cleanup as opposed to bedding in new pads. Thus the less aggressive nature.
