Brake Wear

This vehicle has disc brakes. Disc brake pads have
built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning
sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads
are needed. The sound can come and go or be heard all
the time the vehicle is moving, except when applying
the brake pedal firmly.

{

CAUTION:

The brake wear warning sound means that soon
the brakes will not work well. That could lead to an
accident. When the brake wear warning sound is
heard, have the vehicle serviced.

Notice: Continuing to drive with worn-out brake
pads could result in costly brake repair.

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

Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.

Brake Pedal Travel

See your dealer/retailer if the brake pedal does not
return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign that brake service
might be required.

Brake Adjustment

Every brake stop, the disc brakes automatically adjust
for wear.
