Checking thickness of brake pads

Information

If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must be replaced.
Replacement of the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads before a pad thickness -Arrows- of 2.5 mm is reached.
Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn.
If only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, the warning contacts can be re-used.
