Coated rotors V70-XC70

Hi,
2004 V70, 2.4, M56. Girling 286mm discs.
With Pagid coated rotors what are people's experience doing the bed in process?
Pagid says no hard braking for 200 km the drive normally. My understanding is that the coating is just anti-corrosion and does not replace the bed in process.
thanks

    Coated rotors V70-XC70

    Zinc coated rotors are an improvement especially when you want to remove the rotor later.

    Break-in from Zimmermann's fine website:

    The following run-in notices are recommended to ensure a safe and proper
    operation of the brake disc / brake pad system:

    Perform the run-in processes on road sections that allow for the following
    maneuvers to be carried out safely and within the provisions of road traffic
    regulations (StVO).

    Violent or shock-braking should be avoided during the first 300 km of travel
    after the change of the brake discs.

    When running-in Coat Z coated brake discs, kindly perform approximately 5-10
    short and moderate braking operations for braking off the coating layer.
    After that kindly ensure a bedding-in process of brake discs and brake pads.
    This process causes that the brake disc heats up gradually and serves to adapt
    the friction surfaces of the brake disc and brake pad.

    If the road conditions permit, perform several short, moderate braking actions
    (without ABS intervention) within the first 300km.

    Failure to observe the recommended running-in procedure may result in impairment
    of the brake function and worse braking performance.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you use many of the parts dealers instructions to do brakes, you'll miss
    the boat in some key areas including the need to clean like new the hub and rotor faces, and know what tools to use.
    How to index new rotors to minimize runout.
    Goto Zimmermann's site for plenty of technical info.
    WARNING:
    Both ATE and Zimmermann warn about using anti-sieze on the rotor and hub faces.
    Only a thin coat of oil, then wiped off with a clean rag, is allowed.

    Cheers, Bill

      Thanks Bill.

      Pagid's site said drive easy for 200km. Similar coating to Zimmerman.
