What are the tips for brake pad alarms?

1）. Driving computer prompts:

Generally, the alarm will show a red word "Please check the brake pads". Then there is an icon, which is a circle surrounded by several dotted brackets. Generally, the display indicates that the limit is close and needs to be replaced immediately.

2）. Brake pads come with alarm tips:

Some old vehicles have brake pads that are not connected to the driving computer, but a small iron sheet for alarm is installed on the brake pads. When the friction material is almost worn out, the brake disc is not worn out, but the small iron sheet for alarm. At this time, the vehicle will make a harsh "chirp" sound of friction between metals, which is a signal to replace the brake pads.

3）. Simple daily self-check method:

Check whether the brake pads and brake discs are thin. You can use a small flashlight to observe and check. When the inspection finds that the black friction material of the brake pads is almost worn out and the thickness is less than 5 mm, you should consider replacing it.

4）. Car feel:

If you are more experienced, you may feel that the brakes are softer when the brake pads are not on. This depends on your own driving experience.
