How often should Toyota Prius brake pads be replaced in Pakistan’s driving conditions?

Toyota recommends brake pad replacement every 50,000 to 80,000 km, but this varies.
In Pakistan’s hot climate and rough roads, do Prius brake pads wear out faster than in other regions?
How can owners check pad thickness and estimate remaining brake life?

Toyota recommends brake pad replacement every 50,000–80,000 km, but in hot climates and heavy traffic conditions like in Pakistan, pads may wear out faster.

Checking pad thickness: You can check the pad thickness at service intervals. If they’re below 3mm, replacement is necessary.

Additional factors: In hotter climates and rougher roads, it’s good to check them every 30,000–40,000 km.
