Measure friction material only, not the steel backing plate, and inspect every inner and outer pad at its thinnest usable point. Taper, cracking, separation, glazing or fluid contamination can require replacement before the numerical minimum.
Toyota's front and rear measurements
The covered 2AR-FE table begins at 12.0 mm front and 10.5 mm rear, with a 1.0-mm minimum at both axles. These are lining measurements, so exclude the backing plate and measure each pad separately.
Do not copy the 1.0-mm limit into a different RAV4 generation without checking its brake package. Hybrid regeneration, electronic parking brakes, caliper revisions and rotor sizes change across the nameplate's long production run.
Interpreting wear before the limit
A pad can require replacement above the numerical minimum because of taper, cracking, glazing or contamination. Compare inner and outer pads and both sides of the axle; unevenness often points to seized hardware or a piston/boot problem.
Measure rotor thickness and inspect runout condition as required before installing pads. Clean and lubricate only the specified sliding surfaces with the correct brake product, keep friction faces dry and follow the proper bedding routine.
