What does it mean when the brake warning light is on, and can I still drive?
1 Answers
The brake warning light is on due to a fault in the braking system, and you should not drive. Introduction to brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are consumable parts. Brake pad wear refers to the gradual wearing down of the brake pads during vehicle use. When the wear reaches its limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, braking performance will be reduced, potentially leading to brake failure and accidents. Replacing brake pads: Some vehicles have a warning light on the dashboard that illuminates when the brake pads are worn, indicating that they need to be replaced promptly. Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the brake pads wear down to less than 5 millimeters, replacement is recommended.
