How do I extend the life of my Kia Sportage's brake pads?

I have noticed that my Kia Sportage's brake pads are wearing out faster than expected. Is there anything I can do to extend their life and avoid having to constantly replace them?

Regularly check your brake pads for wear and tear. If they are less than 3mm thick, it's time to replace them.

Avoid hard braking as much as possible. This puts excessive wear on the brake pads and can significantly reduce their lifespan.

Drive with a light foot and anticipate stops. This will help you avoid sudden and harsh braking, which can wear out your brake pads faster.

Consider upgrading to ceramic brake pads. They tend to last longer and are more resistant to wear and tear compared to traditional brake pads.
