Brake Wear
Your Buick has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make
a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads
are
worn and new pads are needed. The sound may come and
go or be heard all the time your vehicle
is moving (except
when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).
The brake wear warning sound means that
sooner or later your brakes won't work well.
That could lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have your
vehicle serviced.

Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
