Twain,

top off the brake fluid reservoir. The level drops down as you wear the pads.
They are not worn out yet, they have only lost several mm of thickness since
you've topped off the reservoir the last time.
Also top off the P/S reservoir with Pentosin. Your brake booster works off
the P/S pump on hydrolic pressure.
 
The brake pads wear indicator shows up as an icon (for Canada) or "BRAKES"
(for US) is in the main computer window located in the centre of your
torpedo.
