Does Mercedes require Bedding-In of their Carbon Ceramic brakes

I have just taken delivery of a 2020 AMG GLC 63S Coupe and I could not find any information in the car documentation on bedding-in my Carbon Ceramic brakes. A friend of mine who purchased a BMW received detail information on bedding-in his Carbon Ceramic brakes. Most of the information on the web indicates if you want the best performance from these brakes you need to bed them in. Advice would be much appreciated.

Absolutely not needed, just a waste of time and brake fluid which you will cook in the process.
I did the bedding process in my AMG E63s wagon and cooked my fluid with zero benefit..
Change out your brake fluid with Castrol SRF high temp fluid..
