Front brake pads:  
Note  
Experience has shown that brake pad wear due to roadside  
debris is slightly more on passenger side than on driver side.  
It is therefore better to remove the passenger-side front wheel  
to determine the remaining pad thickness.  
The adapter to loosen and tighten the anti-theft wheel bolts  
can be found in the vehicle tool kit. Please ask the customer  
if the adapter is not available.  
– For better evaluation of remaining pad thickness remove the  
front wheel on the passenger side.  
– Mark position of wheel relative to brake disc.
