WM 463602 Checking thickness of the front brake pads

Preliminary work
Remove wheels.

Checking brake pads

Warning
Risk of accidents if brake pads and/or brake discs are not replaced in time.
^ Danger of injury and damage to vehicle if braking effect is impaired.

-> The brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad warning indicator lights up, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm.

Caution
Increased risk of damage to brake discs when mounting/removing wheels.
^ The brake discs can be damaged.

-> Use assembly aid (assembly pins) in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc.

Note
^ if brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must also be replaced.





^ Replacing the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads no later than when the pad thickness is 2.5 mm -arrows-.
^ Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn.
^ However, if only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, there is no need to replace it.

Visually inspect the brake pads for wear.

Subsequent work
Fit wheels.
