How Many Kilometers Can Original Brake Pads Last?

[LeDerek]

Original brake pads can generally last for about 25,000 to 30,000 kilometers. The conditions for replacing brake pads are as follows: 1. Check the thickness of the brake pads. When the brake pads become very thin, braking performance will significantly decrease, affecting driving safety. Generally, new brake pads are about 1.5cm thick. When the brake pads wear down to only 0.5cm, you should increase the frequency of self-inspection. When the brake pads wear down to only 0.3cm, they must be replaced immediately. 2. Vehicle computer prompts for replacement. Generally, the car dashboard has a brake warning light. When the warning light comes on, it reminds you to check the brake pads, but the light indicates that the pads have reached the replacement limit. 3. Listen for sounds. Brake discs are mostly made of iron and are prone to rust after prolonged parking, especially in rainy weather. At this time, stepping on the brakes may be accompanied by a hissing sound. If there is no improvement after a period of time, the brake pads must be replaced immediately.
