If the brake pads wear out beyond their usable limit, not only will the brake performance
be impaired, but brake components could also fail.
WARNING
•
Do not drive with brake pads worn out beyond the limit. Excessively worn
brake pads may cause breakdown of brake components and poor braking
performance. This is very dangerous.
ADVICE
•
The pad has an embedded wear indicator. A squeaking noise from the indicator
means that the pad is approaching the usable limit. If the squeaking noise from
the indicator can be heard, contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer for inspection or
replacement.
