1. The disc brake pads are equipped with wear indicators that begin to produce a high-frequency sound (squealing) when the friction linings wear down to a thickness of less than 2 mm.
2. The condition of the brake pads can be assessed by visual inspection through a special window provided in the caliper body. The standard thickness of the pads is 10 mm, the minimum permissible is 2.0 mm.
