Front Brake Pad On-Vehicle Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspect pad linings (1) periodically according to maintenance schedule and whenever wheels are removed (for tire rotation or other reason). Check lining thickness of outside and inside pads.

If lining is worn and its thickness ("a" in figure) is less than the limit, all front brake pads must be replaced at the same time.

Front brake pad thickness (lining thickness) "a" 

Standard: 11 mm (0.43 in.) 

Limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)
