The first thing you should do is avoid any harsh braking or sudden stops during the first 500 miles of driving to allow the brakes to properly break in. After that, make sure to regularly inspect the brake pads and rotors for any signs of wear or damage. Also, keep the brake calipers clean and free from any dirt or debris to prevent potential damage.

A good rule of thumb is to avoid excessive heat and frequent hard braking as this can reduce the lifespan of the carbon ceramic brakes. Additionally, if you plan on driving on the track, consider upgrading to a more performance-oriented brake pad to handle the intense heat and friction.
