How Often Should the Brake Pads on a Chevrolet Cruze Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Chevrolet Cruze brake pads should generally be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or so. The replacement interval for brake pads and discs is not fixed and depends on the following factors: 1. Road conditions the vehicle is driven on. 2. Frequency of the driver pressing the brake pedal. 3. Braking force applied. Additionally, owners can decide when to replace the brake pads based on their wear level. For example: 1. The normal thickness of brake pads is about 13mm, which gradually wears down with use. When the thickness of the brake pads falls below 4.3mm, they should be replaced. Otherwise, it can pose a serious safety risk to the vehicle. 2. Typically, there is a small protrusion at both ends of the brake pads. Once these protrusions wear down to be level with the pad surface, replacement is necessary.
