Default Brake Pad Thickness specs

anybody know the brake pad/shoethickness specs for the prius.

Just had a 15K service/ssc40D done - but I picked it up after the shop was closed and didn't get a chance to ask the tech what the starting/replacement brake thickness specs are -
My fronts are at 9mm rear at 4mm - I've got no feel for those numbers.

I'd always assumed the prius woud get better brake pad life than a non regen braking car unless they use thinner pads/shoes to save weight

TIA
