Brake wear Sensor

Replaced Brakes & rotors for GL yesterday after 39K miles on them.

And happened to see brake wear sensors on them. another surprise to me. Those are just clip on wireless sensors, removed and added to new brake pads.

Another surprise, hidden feature. Posting here to share same to you guys....

Mercedes have had brake pad wear sensors since the 1980s.
