The brakes table prints brake pad wear limit 0.04 in. (1.0 mm). It does not print a separate front or rear number.
The fluid cell prints FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 or SAE J1703 and FMVSS No. 116 DOT 4 or SAE J1704. The table does not say which line this car uses. Confirm the reservoir before adding fluid.
No caliper torque or rotor minimum was in this brakes block. Wheel-nut torque is on the wheel nut guide and is not a caliper figure.
The brakes block in OM06158U prints one pad wear limit, 0.04 in. (1.0 mm). It does not split that figure into a front row and a rear row, and it does not print a rotor minimum thickness or a caliper torque. Parking-brake lining wear limit, pedal type, is also 0.04 in. (1.0 mm).
Pedal clearance is 3.2 in. (81 mm) when the pedal is pressed with 67 lbf (300 N, 31 kgf) while the engine is running. Free play is 0.04 to 0.24 in. (1 to 6 mm). The fluid cell prints DOT 3 and DOT 4 together. This page does not choose between them.
The driving section says a squealing or scraping noise is the wear-limit indicator, and that driving after the pad or disc wear limits are exceeded is dangerous.

The maintenance checklist is on the site now. The email list is not sending yet, so this box will not store an address.
Same repair, different model year. Use the page that matches the truck or car in the driveway. A figure on one year is not a figure for the next.
These guides cover the same kind of work. Their numbers belong to those vehicles, not to this one.
