Brake friction pads

The new brake pad thickness is 19mm.
Brake pads should be replaced when
they fall to 3 mm thickness. Vehicles with
disc brakes have a sensor on each brake
that constantly measures the amount
of wear. The display screen shows how
many kilometers the pad of the brake
pad on each axle will go in <<KM>>.
Data is collected for a predetermined
period of time based on the driver and
usage conditions, and is displayed on the
display as an hourglass. Diff erent wear
between right and left brake pad, brake
pad sensor error, general error, remaining
brake pad life under 6% and installing
worn brake pad under 35% are shown on
the display in <<--->> and the problem
should be solved by going to service. When
the amount of brake lining in any brake
approaches the end, the driver is informed
with the warning light. Aft er the warning
light turns on, the problem should be
solved by going to the nearest service.
An indicator lever is available on the brake
to allow monitoring of the lining thickness
besides the percentage indication on the
display. Linings shall be replaced when the
indicator lever is fully worn.
Ss the service life of the lining shall diff er
greatly due to causes such as vehicle
load, operating conditions etc., monitor
the lining thickness periodically from the
display or check it every month with the
indicator lever on the brakes when it is not
possible to monitor it from the display.
