Brakes; Disc Brake Wear Indicators - GMC Hummer H3 2008 Owner's Handbook Manual

■ BRAKES

If the engine stops as you're
driving, brake normally but don't
pump your brakes. If the engine
stops, you will have some power
brake assist left, but it's used up as
you brake.
The brake pedal may be harder to
push and it may take longer to
stop.

Disc Brake Wear Indicators

Your vehicle has four-wheel disc
brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in
wear indicators that make a high-
pitched warning sound when the
brake pads are worn and new ones
are needed.
Some conditions or climates may
cause disc brakes to squeal when
they are first or lightly applied.
This does not indicate a problem
with the brakes.
Brake linings should always be
replaced as complete axle sets.
Section 3
CAUTION
The brake wear warning sound
means that soon your brakes
won't work well. That could
lead to an accident. When you
hear the brake wear warning
sound, have the vehicle
serviced.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive with worn-
out brake pads could result in
costly brake repairs.
The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
