What does a warning light with a circle and six dots indicate?
1 Answers
A warning light with a circle and six dots indicates brake pad wear, signaling the need for replacement or inspection of the brake pads. Below are the replacement criteria for brake pads: 1. Mileage: Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads should be replaced approximately every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. If severe wear is detected, immediate replacement is necessary. 2. Wear level: Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the thickness wears down to one-third of the original, or less than 5 millimeters, it is recommended to replace them promptly. If a metallic scraping sound is heard during braking, this may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to the minimum thickness, with the wear indicators touching the brake disc and causing noise, requiring immediate replacement. If the brake pedal feels lighter than usual, or if braking feels difficult or ineffective, this suggests significant wear and insufficient thickness of the brake pads, also necessitating prompt replacement.
