General warning notes

WARNING: Installation of brake pads with the wrong brake pad quality
  • Longer braking distance
  • More wear on brake pads

→ Only use the type-specific brake pads listed in the Porsche Parts Catalogue.

→ Replace the brake pads when the brake pad wear indicator light comes on, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm on each axle.

→ Replace the brake discs on each axle as soon as the brake pad wear limit is reached.

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.
