Service Repair No - 70.40.12
NOTE: This procedure must be carried out if, new parking brake shoes are fitted, new rear brake discs are fitted or if the vehicle has been mud wading (not water) for more than 50 miles.
1. Carry out the parking brake shoe bedding-in procedure.
2. NOTE: The electronic parking brake 'Service Bedding-in Procedure mode' will be active for the remainder of the ignition cycle, or until the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50 kph). If the procedure needs to be re-entered, the entry actions must be repeated.
To enter 'Service Bedding-in Procedure' mode.
^ Start and run the engine.
^ Apply the Footbrake 3 times within 10 seconds and hold applied after the 3rd application.

3. Once the Service Bedding-in procedure mode has been entered, the electronic parking brake linings can be bedded-in by conducting 10 repeated stops from 30 - 35 kph (19 - 22 mph), followed by a 500 metre (547 yard) interval between each stop to allow the brakes to cool, using the electronic parking brake control switch.
^ The electronic parking brake brake force will be increased up to the dynamic maximum so long as the switch is held in the applied position.
^ If the switch is released to either the NEUTRAL or OFF positions, the electronic parking brake will be released.
^ The electronic parking brake MUST be allowed to cool between applications, either by driving at 19 mph (30 kph) for 500 metres (547 yards) or remaining stationary for 1 minute between each application.
