① Under appropriate driving conditions, brake pads should be inspected twice every 6000 kilometers by the manufacturer. The inspection should not only measure the remaining thickness but also check the condition of the brake pads. Compare the wear levels of both brake pads to ensure they are the same and that they return to their original position smoothly. Any abnormalities must be addressed immediately.
② Ceramic brake pads typically consist of a steel backing and friction material. Do not wait until the friction material is completely worn away before replacing the brake pads. Some vehicles have a brake system warning function; if the wear limit is exceeded, the digital display will alert you to replacement. Brake pads exceeding their service life must be replaced. Even if they can still be used for a short time, they will reduce braking effectiveness and compromise driving safety.
③ When replacing brake pads, always use qualified brake pads from reputable manufacturers. Only in this way can the braking effect between the brake pads and brake discs be optimized, minimizing wear.
④ When replacing brake pads, a repair tool must be used to push the brake caliper back into place. Do not use other pry bars to force it back, as this can easily bend the brake caliper guide screws and cause the brake pads to jam.
⑤ After changing the brand of brake pads, simply pump the brakes a few times to clear the gap between the brake pads and the brake discs. The brake pads need to be broken in for 150 kilometers to achieve excellent braking performance.
