Driving your vehicle
Disc brakes wear indicator
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue  to drive  with  worn brake
pads.
(Continued)
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
Wet  brakes may  result in  the
vehicle  not  slowing  down  at
the  usual rate  and  pulling  to
one side  when the brakes  are
applied.  After  going  through
water, apply the brakes  lightly
to regain smooth  braking per-
formance.
When your  brake pads are worn and
it's time for new pads, you will hear a
high-pitched   warning   sound   from
your  front brakes  or  rear  brakes (if
equipped). You may hear  this sound
come and  go or it  may occur when-
ever you depress the brake pedal.
Please remember  that some  driv-
ing  conditions   or  climates   may
cause  a  brake  squeal  when  you
first  apply  (or   lightly  apply)  the
brakes. This  is  normal  and  does
not  indicate a  problem  with your
brakes.

means your vehicle needs serv-
ice.  If  you  ignore  this  audible

performance,    which

CAUTION
Always  replace  brake  pads  as
complete front or  rear axle sets
to  ensure   smooth   brake  per-
formance.
