Brake pad inspection
On vehicles equipped with a jack
*
, the condition
of the brake pads can be checked by raising the
vehicle and performing a visual inspection of the
brake pads.
WARNING
•
If the vehicle has been driven immediately
prior to a brake pad inspection, the wheel
hub, brake components, etc., will be very
hot. Allow time for these components to
cool before carrying out the inspection.
•
Apply the parking brake and put the gear
selector in the Park (
P
) position.
•
Block the wheels standing on the ground,
use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
WARNING
•
Use the jack intended for the vehicle
when changing a tire. For any other job,
use stands to support the vehicle.
•
The jack should be kept well-greased and
clean, and should not be damaged.
•
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface.
•
No objects should be placed between the
base of jack and the ground, or between
the jack and the attachment bar on the
vehicle.
•
The jack must correctly engage the jack
attachment.
•
Never allow any part of your body to be
extended under a vehicle supported by a
jack.
