Brake wear

The brake lining is equipped with a wear indicator. A thin metal plate attached to the brake lining serves as the wear indicator. There will be a harsh sound as the brake lining wears down to its limit. This noise suggests that the brake lining needs to be replaced since it has outlived its useful life. It is recommended to contact a GAC Service Center for replacement.

CAUTION:

◆ Please replace the brake lining in time. Otherwise the worn brake lining will damage the brake system and lead to braking failure.

NOTE:

◆ The tires and hubs must be removed regularly for visual inspection on the brake.

◆ For areas where road salt is used in winter, it is recommended to clean and lubricate the brake calipers once a year or every 10,000 kilometers.

◆ For the limitations on the use of brake lining, please refer to the section "Technical information - Technical parameters - Technical parameters of brake system".
