How do I check my brake pads in my Audi A4?

I just purchased a used Audi A4 and I want to make sure my brake pads are in good condition. I'm not very knowledgeable about cars, so I'm not sure what to look for. Any advice?

Hi Sarah, it's always a good idea to check your brake pads regularly to ensure your safety on the road. Here's what you should do:

First, visually inspect your brake pads. If they are less than 1/4 inch thick, they need to be replaced.
