What are the precautions after replacing new brake pads?

[RoseFitz]

After replacing brake pads, the following precautions should be noted: 1. The thickness of a new brake pad is generally around 10mm. When visual inspection shows the thickness has reduced to about 1/3 of the original (approximately 3mm), the owner should increase self-inspection frequency and be ready to replace them. 2. If a metallic scraping sound is heard when lightly applying the brakes, the brake pads should be replaced immediately. This indicates the wear indicators on both sides of the brake pads are directly rubbing against the rotor, showing the pads have exceeded their limit. 3. As brake pads wear thinner, braking performance will be affected. Deeper depression of the brake pedal will be required to achieve the same braking effect that previously required only light pressure, with noticeably reduced braking effectiveness in the initial pedal travel.
