Car brake pads are generally replaced every 50,000 kilometers. Whether the brake pads need replacement can be determined by their thickness, sound, and pedal feel: 1. Thickness: Normal brake pads have a thickness of about 10mm, and they should be replaced when the thickness is below 6mm; 2. Sound: If the car frequently makes abnormal noises during braking, it indicates severe wear of the brake pads, which also requires replacement; 3. Pedal feel: When the brake pads are severely worn, their braking force decreases, so symptoms of weakness will be noticeable when stepping on the brake, necessitating timely replacement. The brake pads should be inspected and maintained every 20,000 kilometers. During daily use, avoid sudden braking and stopping to prevent accelerated wear of the brake pads, and avoid water immersion to prevent corrosion of the brake pads.
