Front Disc Brake Pad On-Vehicle Inspection
Inspect pad linings (1) periodically according to
maintenance schedule whenever wheels are removed
(for tire rotation or other reason). Take a look through
each end (or hole) of caliper and check lining thickness
of outside and inside pads.
If lining is worn and its thickness ("a" in figure) is less
than limit, all pads must be replaced at the same time.
Front brake pad thickness "a" (lining thickness)
Standard: 10 mm (0.40 in.)
