How often should I replace my Kia Rio's brake pads?

I've noticed my Kia Rio's brakes are starting to feel spongy and taking longer to stop. How often should I have the brake pads replaced to ensure optimal performance and safety?

It is recommended to replace your Kia Rio's brake pads every 30,000 miles or every 3 years, whichever comes first. If you notice any changes in braking performance, it is best to have them checked and replaced if necessary.

Regularly inspecting your brake pads and having them replaced when needed not only ensures your safety, but it can also help avoid costly damages to your brake system in the long run. Don't wait too long to have them replaced.

If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in hilly areas, your brake pads may wear out faster. Keep an eye on your brake pads and replace them as needed to maintain smooth and safe braking.
