Brake system: visual inspection of the brake pads and brake discs for wear

WARNING:
Risk of accident if brake pads and/or brake discs are not replaced in time.
- Injury and material damage due to impaired braking effect.
- The brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad warning indicator lights up, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm.
- Brake discs must be replaced on reaching the wear limits.

NOTE:
- If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must also be replaced.
- Replacing the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads no later than when the pad thickness is 2.5 mm.
- Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the line is worn.
- However, if only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, there is no need to replace it.
