Brake pads — Omoda 5

Like most new cars, the Omoda 5's pads have a built-in wear indicator — a metal tab that starts touching the disc once the friction material is heavily worn, producing a sharp, high-pitched sound under braking.

Signs worth acting on

• Squealing under braking, even light braking
• Noticeable vibration through the brake pedal
• Longer stopping distance compared to when the car was new

At the first signs, it's worth checking the pads visually through the wheel spokes — friction material thinner than a few millimeters means replacement is due soon.
