How often should the brake pads on a Macan be replaced?
1 Answers
Macan brake pads generally need replacement every 30,000-40,000 kilometers, but this is only an approximate figure. As driving habits vary among individuals and braking systems differ between vehicles, replacement timing should be determined based on actual wear conditions. Below are four situations indicating brake pad replacement is needed: 1. Dashboard warning: Vehicles are equipped with brake pad warning lights. When this indicator illuminates, the brake pads are no longer functional, so regular inspections and early replacement are advised - don't wait until the warning light comes on. 2. Thickness: During maintenance at 4S shops, have technicians check the pad thickness. New brake pads are 37.5px thick, and require replacement when worn down to 0.5mm. 3. Braking noise: If emergency braking produces abnormal sounds different from normal operation - such as squealing or grinding noises - immediately visit a 4S shop for inspection as these usually indicate brake pad failure. 4. Braking response: Experienced drivers become familiar with their vehicle's performance. When noticing extended braking distances or reduced responsiveness, promptly visit an authorized 4S shop for inspection since braking systems directly impact driving safety and demand serious attention.
