Okay so here's my story, yesterday i was out at my sister's place and when i was coming back home like around 10 i took my usual route, (route 7). So the intersection has almost all lights (20 miles of it) and since it was dark and no cars were on the road, i usually like to floor it and go faster then usual. But for some reason, my luck, almost every light kept turning red for me. So i kept applying my brakes harder then usual ( I hate lights). So the moral of the story is when it was clear i floored it again and it seemed liked the brake indicator light came on, well not all the way on, but it flashed, and went away! Does it mean i have to change my brakes? or does it apply if the light is complety on and doesn't go away? The brakes seem good to me, i have allot of brake dust ( which i need to take to a car wash, asap) . and Should i be like really concern about it? Thanks again!

 

Hi

Had the same problem when I first got my XF. What it means is that you are now wearing the brake pad wear sensor down and every time you brake it connects a circuit which lights the red light up warning you of low meat on your front pads.
As to brake dust I use EBC RedStuff Cermamic pads they give noticibly less dust (blurb says 90% less)
used them on my 320 SLK and XF and love them better bite and a whole lot less dust.
