Disc brakes wear indicator

When your brake pads are worn out
and new pads are required, you will
hear a high pitched warning sound
from your front or rear brakes. You
may hear this sound come and go or
it may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Please remember some driving con-
ditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
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.

plete front or rear axle sets.
