Driving your vehicle
Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle has front disc brakes.
When your front brake pads are worn
1
and it's time for new pads, you will
hear a high-pitched warning sound
2 from your front brakes. You may hear
this sound come and go or it may
occur whenever you depress the
3
brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
4
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
5
mal 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 serv-
ice. If you ignore this audible
warning, you will eventually lose
braking performance, which
could lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Always replace front brake pads
or rear brake linings as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
Rear drum brakes
Your rear drum brakes do not have
wear indicators. Therefore, have the
rear brake linings inspected if you
hear a rear brake rubbing noise. Also
have your rear brakes inspected
each time you change or rotate your
tires and when you have the front
brakes replaced.
