WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2018 Porsche Cayenne, 2017 Porsche Cayenne, 2016 Porsche Cayenne, 2015 Porsche Cayenne, and 2014 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Risk of accidents if brake pads and brake discs are not replaced in time.
- Injury and material damage due to impaired braking effect.
→ 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.
→ Brake discs must be replaced on reaching the wear limits.
Information
- 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 approx. 2.5 mm.
- Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn. Worn insulation is not important.
- 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 (wear limit: 2 mm).
- Carry out a visual inspection of the brake discs for wear → 4650TW TECHNICAL DATA/BRAKE WEAR LIMITS
