Manual doesn't deal with metallic pads.... Them's one o' them
newfangled developments.
Metallic pads will squeal, although this tends to abate as they set
in. There is some orange goo made by CRC that you can put between the
pads and the pistons that is advertised to reduce squeal. I got some
at Pep Boys for my (ex-) Mazda, didn't work all that well, ended up
replacing pads with Raybestos and the squeal went away.
