How do I properly maintain my Audi R8's ceramic brakes?

Ceramic brakes are a special feature in the Audi R8, but they require specific maintenance in order to ensure their longevity and performance. What steps should I take to maintain my ceramic brakes and keep them in top condition?

Regularly check for any debris or build-up on the brake pads and rotors. Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or grit that could cause damage to the ceramic material. It's important to also keep the wheels clean to prevent any contaminants from getting into the brakes.

Avoid sudden and aggressive braking whenever possible. Ceramic brakes perform best when they are heated gradually. Try to anticipate stops and brake smoothly to maintain the temperature of the brakes.

Have a professional mechanic inspect and replace your brake pads as recommended by the manufacturer. They can also check for any signs of damage or wear in the brake system.
