CAUTION

Increased risk of damage to brake discs when mounting/removing wheels.

-> Use assembly aid (assembly pins) in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc.

Information

- 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 -arrows-.

- Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn.

- However, if only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, there is no need to replace it.

Visually inspect the brake pads for wear.
