How many kilometers can you drive with worn brake pads?
1 Answers
Worn brake pads can still allow driving for 50 to 100 kilometers, but this varies by vehicle model. For safety reasons, if the dashboard displays a brake pad wear warning, they should be replaced immediately. Brake pads are a crucial component of the braking system and a wearable part that requires regular replacement. When the brake pedal is pressed, the piston in the brake caliper pushes the brake pads to clamp the brake disc, converting kinetic energy into heat energy, thereby slowing the vehicle. Brake pads wear over time and need replacement once they reach a certain level of wear. When purchasing brake pads, always opt for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) pads or those produced by reputable brands, as inferior quality brake pads can compromise braking performance.
