Brake Pad Wear Indicators - Toyota Coaster 2015 Owner's Manual

"ABS" warning light
The light comes on when the engine
switch is turned to the "ON" position. If
the anti−lock brake system works properly,
the light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the
light comes on again.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.
84
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions oc-
curs, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the components monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
D
engine switch is turned to the "ON"
position, or remains on.
The light comes on while you are driv-
D
ing.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle has a parking brake system.
This type of brake system needs bedding−
down of the brake shoes periodically or
whenever the parking brake shoes and/or
drums are replaced.
Have your Toyota dealer perform the bed-
ding−down.

Brake pad wear indicators

The brake pad wear indicators on your
disc brakes give a warning noise when
the brake pads are worn to where re-
placement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the
checked and replaced by your nearest
Toyota dealer immediately.
Avoid continuous driving with the warning
noise.
Continuous driving without replacing the
brake pads will cause expensive rotor
damage and increasing brake pedal effort
to get the same stopping distance.
