Checking thickness of brake pads

If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must also be replaced.
Replacement of the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads no later than when the pad thickness is 2.5 mm -Pfeile- .
Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the line 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.
