Those depth lines that are on the pad are a guidline, if the surface of the pad reaches the surface of the depth lines, then its about time to change. At that point the brake lever will be pretty slack unless you've filled the reservoir anyway.

Hi

The lever should not get slack. Never let the fluid level drop low enough to allow air into the systems

All the best
