CAUTION
The excessive wear of the friction material would
cause the contact of the pad metal support with the
disc, with consequent metallic noise and production
of sparks from the caliper; braking efficiency, safety
and soundness of the disc would thus be negatively
affected.
If the thickness of the friction material [even of one front
(3) or rear pad (4) only] has reduced to about 1.5 mm (or
even if only one of the wear indicators is not visible any
longer):
– for the front brake calipers (right and left), have all
pads of both calipers changed, see 7.5.1 (CHANG-
ING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS (models up to
2001)).
– for the rear brake caliper have both rear brake cal-
iper pads changed, see 7.6.1 (CHANGING THE
REAR BRAKE PADS).
