BRAKES - BASE

The caliper piston seals (5) control the amount of pis-
ton (1) extension needed to compensate for normal
lining wear.
During brake application the seals (6) are deflected
outward by fluid pressure and piston (1) movement.
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released,
the seals (3) relax and retract the piston (1).
The front outboard brake pads have electronic wear
indicators. Which, when wear is present the wear indi-
cator will illuminate a MIL light on the instrument panel
telling the operator of the brake pad wear concern.
