After driving it for a few days (less than 500 km), the service indicator appeared again. ...
Just looking through the wheel, the pads themselves appear to have around 8-9 mm of material left."
Relax Smokey, it was just a question. The reason I asked is because a false positive , i.e the pads wear out without triggering the notification can mean the brake system may have other issues not sloved by a simple brake job. So chill bro.
