Compensating for differences in the wear of the brake
pads
If the brake pads on one of the axles wear
down faster than those on the other, braking
force is redistributed so that a greater portion
of the braking force is applied to the wheels
on the axle with less wear.
When the thickness of the brake pads is
reduced to 20% of the thickness of new pads,
a warning symbol is shown on the display.
Note: This function activates when braking
lightly. During in a hard braking the braking
force is distributed so as to achieve the most
efficient braking.
DANGER
When brake pad warning symbol is
displayed, immediately proceed to the
nearest service station to replace the brake
pads with new ones. Driving any further
with worn out brake pads may be lead
to losing control of the vehicle and cause
an accident resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
