Disc brakes wear indicator

Your vehicle has disc brakes.

When your brake pads are worn and

it's time for new pads, you will hear a

high-pitched warning sound from

your front brakes or rear brakes (if

equipped). You may hear this sound

come and go or it may occur when-

ever you depress the brake pedal.

Please remember that some dri-

ving conditions or climates may

cause a brake squeal when you

first apply (or lightly apply) the

brakes. This is normal and does

not indicate a problem with your

brakes.

✽

NOTICE

To avoid costly brake repairs, do not

continue to drive with worn brake

pads.

WARNING - Brake wear

This brake wear warning sound

means your vehicle needs ser-

vice. If you ignore this audible

warning, you will eventually lose

braking performance, which

could lead to a serious accident.

CAUTION

Always replace brake pads as

complete front or rear axle sets

to ensure smooth brake perfor-

mance.

(Continued)

• Wet brakes may result in the

vehicle not slowing down at

the usual rate and pulling to

one side when the brakes are

applied. After going through

water, apply the brakes lightly

to regain smooth braking per-

formance.
