What is the brake-pads-worn warning light?
1 Answers
brake-pads-worn is the warning light for brake pad wear. Mileage: Under normal driving conditions, the front brake pads should be replaced approximately every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, and the rear brake pads every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Once severe brake pad wear is detected, they should be replaced promptly. Degree of wear: Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If they wear down to one-third of their original thickness, or less than 5 millimeters, it is recommended to replace them immediately. If a metallic scraping sound is heard during braking, this may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to their minimum thickness, causing the wear indicators to contact the brake disc and produce noise—prompt replacement is necessary. If the brake pedal feels lighter than usual, or if braking becomes difficult or ineffective, this suggests severe brake pad wear and insufficient thickness, requiring immediate replacement.
