OEM Kia Brake Pads For All Models

How Brake Pads Work

Brake pads are made up of two metal plates with friction material between them. When you press down on the brake pedal, these metal plates clamp together, which squeezes the friction material against the rotor. The friction generated by the contact between the pad and rotor slows down your vehicle through heat energy that is created in this process.

When To Replace Your Brake Pads

Knowing when to replace your brake pads is important as it will help ensure safety while driving. You will generally want to replace your brake pads before they get too thin. It's recommended that you check your brake pads annually or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Some vehicles may require more frequent inspections depending on usage (i.e., if you do a lot of city driving). If your brakes start squealing loudly when applied, it's likely time for new brake pads.
