Replacing the brake pads and discs

Brake pads
The front brake pads have a wear detector connected to the brake
warning light; if this warning light comes on or braking is not
even, have the pad thickness and the state of the braking surfaces
checked.
The minimum brake pad thickness is 3 mm (thickness of the
friction material only).
Replacing brake pads
When the brake failure warning light comes on, it means that
the front brake pads are excessively worn and must be replaced
immediately.
Warning
To guarantee the quality of the components and proper
installation, we recommend that you have the brake pads
replaced at a Ferrari Service Centre.
After replacement, avoid sudden braking until the new pads are
seated properly (approximately 300 km).
