Here is a guide that will help with this:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-replace-front-brake-pads-and-rotors-fwd

Below you will find the process from the manual on how to replace the pads and rotors from the manual. We didn't have a manual on your specific vehicle but this is from the sister vehicle for the USA version so it will be very similar.

Let us know if you have questions. Thanks
