Driving your vehicle
Always replace the front or rear brake
pads as pairs.
CAUTION
Replace brake pads
Do not continue to drive with worn brake
pads. Continuing to drive with worn
brake pads can damage the braking sys-
tem and result in costly brake repairs.
WARNING
Brake wear
Do not ignore high pitched wear sounds
from your brakes. If you ignore this audi-
ble warning, you will eventually lose
braking performance, which could lead
to a serious accident.
NOTICE
Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving con-
ditions. Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear and contribute to brake
noise.
Characteristics of outer vent
brake disc
Outer vent brake disc
OKA4040479
The vent area of the outer vent-type
brake disc is exposed to the outside to
improve the cooling performance of the
brake when driving.The exposed vent
area may become rusty but it will not
affect the braking performance, and
such corrosion is not covered by war-
ranty.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
After parking the vehicle, apply the Elec-
tronic Parking Brake (EPB) to prevent
the vehicle from being moved by the
external force.
