32,000 km - Time for new Brake Pads?

Will there be a dashboard notification for pads? I'm at 32k and can feel the brakes have worn. After a bit of a near miss with a truck that cut me off on the freeway today, I'm about ready to get some fresh pads.

How about rotors? (2015 c400)

Appreciate any input, thanks guys!

Your pads have brake pad wear indicators...
You will receive an alert when the wear is at maximum.
There is nothing stopping you changing early
If you do some ceramic reduced dust options may be a better spend..

Thank you sir. I will opt for standard ceramic pads. I wear the brake dust like a badge of honor.
