NOTE: If you are driving down a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear and do
not apply your brakes continuously. If

Occasional brake noise is normal and does not
indicate a performance concern with the vehicle’s
brake system. In normal operation, automotive
brake systems may emit occasional or
intermittent squeal or groan noises when the

environmental conditions such as cold, heat,
moisture, road dust, salt or mud. If a
“metal-to-metal” or “continuous grinding” sound

functioning of the vehicle’s antilock brake
