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 dri-
ving 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.

WARNING - Brake wear
This brake wear warning sound
means your vehicle needs ser-
vice. If you ignore this audible
warning, you will eventually lose
braking
performance, which
could lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Always replace brake pads as
complete front or rear axle sets
to ensure smooth brake perfor-
mance.
