How do I properly maintain the brakes on my Audi A3?

My Audi A3's brakes seem to be wearing out faster than usual. What steps can I take to properly maintain them and extend their lifespan?

Regularly check the brake pads and replace them when they start to wear down. It's also important to regularly check the brake fluid and top it off when necessary.

Avoid hard braking and try to anticipate when you'll need to brake. This will help preserve the brake pads and prevent premature wear.
