Checking thickness of rear brake pads
Warning
Installation of brake pads with the wrong brake pad quality
Longer braking distance
More wear on brake pads
-
Only use the type-specific brake pads.
-
Replace the brake pads when the brake pad wear indicator light comes on, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2
mm on each axle.
-
Replace the brake discs on each axle upon reaching the wear limits.
Information
If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must also be replaced.
Replacement of 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 line is worn.
However, if only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, there is no need to replace it.
Notice
Removing/fitting wheels
Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs
-
Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.
-
Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.
1. To check the brake pads, remove the wheels during maintenance. Before removing/fitting a wheel, screw the assembly aids (assembly pins) -see
illustration-, instead of two wheel bolts, into the wheel hub. During removal, first remove the three remaining wheel bolts and remove the wheel
carefully without touching the brake discs.
