Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.

prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect
brake pads for wear and evenly torque wheel nuts in the

axle sets.
See "Brake System Inspection" in the Maintenance
Schedule booklet under Part C "Periodic
Maintenance Inspections."

Brake Pedal Travel

See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to

travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.
