Worn brake pads can significantly affect the braking performance of your Suzuki Alto Lapin in the following ways:

Longer Stopping Distance: As the brake pads wear down, the braking surface is reduced, meaning more effort is needed to stop the vehicle. This results in longer stopping distances, especially in emergency situations.
Increased Pedal Effort: With worn pads, you may need to press harder on the brake pedal to achieve the same level of braking force, making the car harder to stop.
Decreased Control: The braking response may become inconsistent, causing less control when trying to stop, especially at higher speeds o r during sudden stops.
Brake Fade: Worn pads may cause the brakes to overheat, leading to brake fade, where the braking ability diminishes due to excessive heat, which could lead to a total loss of braking performance if ignored.
