Front and Rear Brake Linings State of Wear

Front and rear brake pads

The condition of the brake pad is determined by the DSC control unit. The calculation is based on a signal from the brake pad wear sensors at 2 points (4 mm and 6 mm). The condition of the brake pad is determined with the help of the following input values:
- Wheel speed
- Braking pressure (determined by the open duration of the exhaust valve)
- Temperature of the brake disc (determined via a computer model consisting of wheel speed, brake pressure, ambient temperature, braking duration)
- Brakes service life

The "brake pad" interval is flexible and dependent on the operating conditions. When the interval is reset, the last value for the interval forecast is set as the starting value for the new interval (only if new brake pads are recognised by intact Brake pad wear sensors).
