Brake Pad Wear Indicators - Toyota HILUX 2008 Owner's Manual

"ABS" warning light
The light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position. If the anti−
lock brake system works properly, the
light turns off after a few seconds. There-
after, if the system malfunctions, the light
comes on again.
When the "ABS" warning light is on, the
anti−lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces, but the brake system still
operates conventionally.

Brake pad wear indicators

20h002
The brake pad wear indicators on your
disc brakes give a warning noise when
the brake pads are worn to where re-
placement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the
checked and replaced by your nearest
Toyota dealer immediately.
Avoid continuous driving with the warning
noise.
Continuous driving without replacing the
brake pads will cause expensive rotor
damage and increasing brake pedal effort
to get the same stopping distance.
