Brake Discs and Brake Pads

Brakes are the most important safety feature within your Toyota; the ability to stop and slow down, especially in poor driving conditions or emergencies, depends entirely on their performance. To ensure safe driving it’s vital to have your brake pads and discs regularly checked by your Toyota Authorised Repairer.

How does your braking system work?

When you put your foot on your car’s brake pedal, brake fluid pressurises the caliper pistons on each wheel’s hub, forcing a brake pad to press against both sides of the brake disc, which turns along with your vehicle’s wheels. This friction slows the car, ultimately bringing it to a stop.

Over time brake pads and brake discs wear out, needing to be replaced as continuing to drive with worn-out brakes can be extremely dangerous. There are a few signs of worn brakes you should be aware of. Here’s what to look out for:

Swerving when breaking can indicate uneven wear of brake pads

Squeaking and screeching

Reduction in stopping power

Brake discs measuring below the safe minimum thickness level need to be replaced
