How long can you drive after the BMW X5 brake pad warning?
1 Answers
After the warning, the brake pads usually have 2-4mm thickness left, which can last for about 1,000 kilometers. It is recommended to inspect and replace them as soon as possible after the brake warning. Introduction to brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake shoes, are consumable parts. Brake pad wear refers to the gradual wearing down of the pads during vehicle use. When the wear reaches its limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, braking efficiency will decrease, potentially leading to brake failure and accidents. Replacing brake pads: Some vehicles have a dashboard warning light that illuminates when the brake pads are worn, indicating the need for timely replacement. Generally, new brake pads are about 1.5 cm thick. If the brake pads wear down to less than 5 mm, replacement is recommended.
