Depending on where you look, it varies, but general principle. After changing the brakes, find a straight stretch of road with little to no traffic(hard to do within city limits).
Start with 3-4 hard slow downs from ~40-45mph to 5mph. Don't come to a complete stop. This heats the brakes up. Then drive for a couple minutes without using brakes, if possible
Then complete 3-4 hard slow downs from 60mph to 5-10mph. Once again don't come to a complete stop. It's very possible the brakes will smoke some and you will smell hot brakes. But that's why you never come to a complete stop. The purpose is to embed brake pad material into the rotors to assist with braking.
Once you have completed the second set of slow downs, drive back home, trying to use the brakes as lightly and little as possible. Then let the vehicle sit until brakes have completely cooled off.
When making your slow downs you want to use hard braking. Basically just before the point of the ABS kicking in. This procedure also helps to smooth out brakes that have developed pulsing when braking. 9 times out of 10, it's not warped rotors, that most people blame it on, but an uneven build up of brake pad material. Usually caused by having to make a hard stop, and then sitting, with brakes applied, in one spot,with hot brakes. I have "fixed" pulsing brakes on multiple vehicles this way. Saving the owner from replacing rotors that didn't need replaced.
I have also conditioned myself to stop short on stop lights so I can creep forward some to prevent the pads from sitting in the same spot on hot rotors.
