but I know with my previous jimny, the pads on that had a metal bar put inside the pad
so that when they get low, it makes a horrible noise, im guessing to tell you they are getting low
but in the process it also makes the disc pitted
it will gut a groove into the disc, depending how long you leave it, it will go 1/2 or so mm deep

That will be the wear indicator, quite a lot of vehicles have it, or electric wear indicators.
