How often should the brake pads on the Teana be replaced?
2 Answers
Teana's brake pads should be replaced approximately every 40,000 kilometers. Automotive brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drums or brake discs that rotate with the wheels. The friction linings and blocks within them bear external pressure to generate friction, achieving the purpose of decelerating the vehicle. The Teana is a flagship mid-to-high-end luxury sedan under NISSAN, perfectly combining precise driving control engineering with absolute comfort engineering, bringing the design concept of mid-size sedans to a new level. In terms of body dimensions, the Teana measures 4868mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2775mm.
I've been driving the Teana for five years now, and changing brake pads isn't something with a fixed schedule. My car is mainly driven in the city with frequent stops at traffic lights, and at 30,000 kilometers, the brakes started making a rustling sound. A check at the 4S shop revealed the thickness was down to just 2mm, so they had to be replaced immediately. The technician explained that Teana's brake pads are usually checked between 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, but if you often drive on highways or flat roads, they might last up to 60,000 or 70,000. My friend's Teana is driven less and only needed replacement once in five years. For safety, I now keep an eye on the braking system during every maintenance check. Signs like longer braking distances or a soft pedal during emergency stops are clear indicators. Daily driving habits matter too—avoiding sudden stops can extend their lifespan. Ignoring these small details could damage the brake discs, leading to higher costs.
