SHIMS

The finely tuned layers of OE dampening material help to reduce the transmission and amplitude of vibration and provide a thermal barrier for more consistent braking.

BACK PLATES

The backbone of every pad, our backing plates are manufactured from a high-strength
pressed steel and coated in a special powder for improved protection, installation and pressure transmission.

UNDER LAYER

The 3mm layer of OE under layer technology in all our pads absorbs noise and acts as a thermal insulator, reducing heat transfer to the brake fluid.

FRICTION MATERIAL

We use over 130 different friction ingredients to create unique formulations, each designed to ensure the best match of pad to vehicle application.

FRICTION SURFACE

Our OE configured chamfers, help shorten bedding in, and reduce initial squeal, for OE performance from day one. Additional slots allow the pad to flex, preventing stress cracks.

We Call it Delphi's 5 Layers of Quality

Contributing to a large part of the vehicle’s stopping power, brake pads are one of the most important components in the braking system - so when it comes to quality, there can be no compromise.

As a leading braking manufacturer, our pads are designed, manufactured and tested for outstanding performance.

Balancing Precision and Environmental Impact

Independent testing is vital in the automotive industry, ensuring unbiased results that prioritise consumer safety and environmental responsibility.

Delphi subjected its latest brake pads to rigorous independent testing in Mojacar, Spain, where ideal conditions - over 3,180 hours of sunshine annually and minimal rainfall - ensured accurate assessments. Here, Delphi’s brake pads were put to the test against other premium brands. The goal was clear: to see which pads could deliver not just in performance but also in environmental responsibility...

...and the results are in!

How to bed in the brakes on a Tesla Model S

Braking How to Distributors Shop Owners Technicians 1 min read

Resource Highlights

Following a brake pad replacement in a TESLA Model S, there is a guided procedure which is activated by the technician from the main centre display – this is called the Media Control Unit (MCU).

Pick up some tips on the proper procedure for bedding in the brakes on a Model S with this video from the experts at Delphi. We’ll show you:

How to enter the vehicle into Service Mode
The settings required to being brake bedding in
Why improper setup can end up causing noise, vibration or harshness.

What is the target driving speed for the brake burnishing process?

The Model S onboard computer advises that the required speed you need to hit to start the process of bedding in the brakes is 46 miles per hour.

Why is it important not to bring the vehicle to a standstill?

Braking the vehicle is necessary to perform the burnishing process, but it’s very important not to brake to a complete stop. If this happens, material from the brake pads may transfer to the brake disc. This may cause thickness variation – which will lead to excessive runout and will register to the driver as a juddering feeling.

Where should I drive to bed in the brakes?

You need to choose a suitable route to perform the brake burnishing service. Avoid built-up areas where the speed limit is lower, and make sure you have plenty of room to manoeuvre. You’ll be accelerating and braking quite regularly so your surroundings should be quite clear of cars.

What is speed limit mode on a Tesla?

Speed limit mode is a safety setting directing the vehicle not to exceed the top speed that has been input. In Service Mode the setting is set to On by default, but because you may need to go faster to burnish the brakes we recommend setting it to Off before commencing the bedding in procedure.
