Abstract
A method of monitoring the functionability of a brake lining (10, 12) comprising the following steps: measuring a value that characterizes the dielectric constant of the lining material; comparing the measured value with a reference value for the new material; and determining the functionability when the measured value is within a specified tolerance range.
