Brake Pad Wear Indicator
The brake pad wear indicator is a device that alerts the driver when the brake pads are getting too thin and need to be replaced.
This indicator typically consists of a small metal tab attached to the brake pad. As the brake pad wears down, this tab eventually contacts the rotor, creating a high-pitched squealing noise.
