.
Brake pads can be visually
inspected through the wheel by
inspecting the outer brake pads
at each wheel.
.
Brake pads should be replaced
when worn to two mm of pad
thickness. New pads are 10 mm
thick.
.
In addition, brake pad inspection
is required any time the tires are
removed.
The ZR1 also has an electronic
brake pad wear sensor system.
When pads are worn, the CHANGE
BRAKE PADS message displays
in the Driver Information Center.
See Brake System Messages on
page 5‑36.
Some driving conditions or climates
can cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean
something is wrong with the brakes.
Brake linings should always be
replaced as complete axle sets.
Brake Rotor Wear
ZR1 models have ceramic brake
rotors. Rotors should be visually
inspected whenever the brake pads
are replaced. Rotors also need to
be weighed before brake pads are
replaced to confirm that the rotor
mass is greater than the wear‐out
mass printed on the rotor. The rotor
can be reused if the weight of the
rotor is above the mass limit. Rotor
inspection and weighing methods
can be found in the service manual.
