Show answer

Correct answer

  • CComprobar el desgaste de las pastillas de freno.Check the wear on the brake pads.
Explanation

In a disc brake, the brake pads wear down, so we must check their condition regularly. We should also check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder. If we had to add fluid every week, it would no longer be a maintenance matter but a serious fault, and we should go to a mechanic immediately.
