Wear Indicators, Checking
Does not apply when using the Carbon-Ceramic Brake Wear Tester: VAS6813 to determine wear.
The wear indicators on the brake rotor friction surface are positioned 120 degrees from each other.
- The wear indicators -arrow- can be recognized by their different color.
- On the front and back side of the brake rotor are three wear indicators.
- With increasing wear of the brake rotor a dark burned-out recess develops on the wear indicator.
WARNING:
Risk of accident due to insufficient braking effect.
- Ceramic brakes should be replaced when, one of the defined wear limits is reached. The brake rotor can no longer be driven.
If a brake rotor is damaged or worn, check the other brake rotors for damage and wear.
