5.1 Wear Check of Pads and Brake Discs
For optimum safety, the pad and disc wear limits must
not be exceeded.
Brake Pads
The thickness of the pads must be checked regularly
dependent on the usage of the vehicle. The pads should be
checked corresponding to any legal requirements that may
apply. Even if a wear indicator is fitted and connected, this
must be at least every 3 months.
5.1.1 Minor breakouts at the edges are permitted (see
arrow).
5.1.2 Major breakouts on the surface of the brake pad are
not permitted (see Fig.).
5.1.3 If the thickness of the friction material at its
thinnest point is less than
2 mm
(dimension
C
) the pads
must be replaced (see Fig.).
5.1.1 - Brake pad with minor damage (permitted)
5.1.2 - Brake pad with major damage (not permitted)
