Brake wear is a normal - in fact, necessary - part of bringing your vehicle to a safe and reliable stop. And the premium brake pad material of your Mercedes-Benz is engineered to be intentionally more sacrificial than those used in many other designs - because, after all, there may be no more important function of your Mercedes than the effectiveness of its brakes when called upon in an emergency.
This means the pads may wear out a little faster and create a little more brake dust than others, as the pads press against the rotors to bring your vehicle to a stop. But they do so in order to provide you with the extraordinarily high level of brake performance you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz. |
- Have your brake pads and rotors, along with the brake fluid, inspected during your A and B-service appointments (refer to your Operator's Manual) or when your vehicle's brake sensor display lights up.
- Regular brake inspections will help you avoid "metal-to-metal" damage that can necessitate rotor replacement.
- Typical brake service consists of brake pad replacement, along with related hardware.
- Replacement of rotors may also be necessary depending on condition.
