Brake Pad Wear Sensor: Description and Operation

A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pads. When the pad wears down to 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) the tip of the wear indicator comes into
contact with the disc rotor, and makes a squeaking sound as the wheel rotates.
This indicates that the pad needs to be replaced.

FRICTIONAL MATERIAL OF BRAKE PADS 

Frictional brake pad materials do not contain asbestos and are not harmful.
