Driving your vehicle

Disc brakes wear indicator

When your brake pads are worn 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.
CAUTION
To avoid costly brake repairs,
do not continue to drive with
worn brake pads.
✽ NOTICE
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
