The hydraulic disc brake system is automatically adjusted. A low brake pedal or lack of braking power
could be caused by:

Brake fluid level low in the master cylinder. See
Check the Master Cylinder Fluid
section.
•
Air in the brake lines. See
Bleed the Brakes
section.
•
Worn brake pads. See
Inspect the Service Brake
section.
•
Worn brake rotor. See
Inspect the Service Brake
section.
•
Binding brake pedal linkage.
If you are experiencing a low brake pedal or lack of braking power, the entire brake system should be
inspected.
