    Brake pads generally need to be replaced after the vehicle has traveled approximately 60,000 kilometers. However, the warranty for KETULLA brake pads ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, depending on driving habits and road conditions.

    When the thickness of the brake pads approaches or falls below 0.3 centimeters, it’s time to replace them. If you hear friction noises when lightly pressing the brakes, immediate replacement is necessary. When the friction material thickness decreases to 8 millimeters, it’s advisable to inspect and possibly replace the brake pads. When the pad and steel plate thickness decreases to 3 millimeters, immediate replacement is recommended to avoid safety hazards.

    The lifespan of brake pads typically falls between 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, depending on driving habits and conditions. Warning signs for brake pad replacement include decreased braking performance, increased braking distances, and abnormal noises. Regular inspections are necessary to determine when brake pads need replacement.

    New brake pads usually have a thickness of approximately 1 centimeter, with a usable limit of 3 millimeters. If brake pads are excessively worn, contaminated with oil, or show signs of abnormal wear or tearing, they should be replaced immediately. It’s essential to regularly check brake pad wear and replace them as needed. Replacement intervals may vary depending on the type of brake pads and driving conditions.

    Regularly inspect the thickness of brake pads, and if worn to at least 1/4 inch, it’s time for replacement. The lifespan of brake pads depends on various factors, including driving style, vehicle type, and load conditions. Regular inspections are necessary to determine when replacement is needed.
