Hard to say. The spec is once the wear pad, backing plate, and dampening pad thickness is 10mm front / 7mm rear, then it's time to replace the pads. That's from the brake system repair manual. The maintenance procedures guide says 7mm front / 7mm rear. I use 10mm front for my front pad replacement decisions.

Okay, Just thought, I will get some warning lights on dashboard for brake pads :-(

On my last service - My mechanic advised to check the front brake pads after 5000-7000 KMs and I am on 3800 KMs now. So probably, will drive another 1000-1300 KMs and change it.

Your wear sensor is only one wheel, drivers side front. Just wait it will come on.
