Checking brake pads
WARNING: Risk of accidents if brake pads and/or brake discs are not replaced in time.
^
Danger of injury and damage to vehicle if braking effect is impaired.
=> The brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad warning indicator lights up, but no later than when there is a residual pad
thickness of 2 mm.
ATTENTION: Increased risk of damage to brake discs when mounting/removing wheels.
^
The brake discs can be damaged.
=> Use assembly aid (assembly pins) in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc.
Note:
^
If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must also be replaced.
^
Replacing the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads no later than when the pad thickness is 2.5 mm -arrows-.
^
Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn.
^
However if only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, there is no need to replace it.
Visually inspect the brake pads for wear.
