Inspecting thickness of front and rear
brake pads/linings
Front disc brake pads:
For a better assessment of the residual pad thickness re-
move wheels. Do not mix up wheels (mark).
–Release the wheel bolts and remove wheel.
-a- - the wear limit is reached at a pad thickness of 7 mm,
including the base plate.
If the thickness of the pad is less than 7 mm including
base plate, always replace the brake pads on both sides
(repair measure)
–Fit on wheels in the marked position and tighten the
wheel bolts to 120 Nm.
After replacing the brake pads depress brake pedal firmly
several times when the vehicle is stationary to ensure the
brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating
position.
Rear disc brake pads
For a better assessment of the residual pad thickness re-
move wheels. Do not mix up wheels (mark).
–Release the wheel bolts and remove wheel.
-a- - the wear limit is reached at a pad thickness of 7.6
mm, including the base plate.
If the thickness of the pad is less than 7.6 mm, always re-
place the brake pads on both sides (repair measure)
–Fit on wheels in the marked position and tighten the
wheel bolts to 120 Nm.
After replacing the brake pads depress brake pedal firmly
several times when the vehicle is stationary to ensure the
brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating
position.
