Rear Brake Pad

Brake Sensor

The brake pad provides friction on your wheel using the braking mechanism and stops the vehicle.

Basically, the pad is losing some of its surfaces every time you hit on the brake. That’s why it’s one of the most common parts to be replaced, probably every year, depending on how often you drive your car.

Some Mercedes has Brake Wear Indicator built within that will show a warning light on your dashboard whenever it detected that you need a brake pad replacement.
