Driving your vehicle
Disc brakes wear indicator
(if equipped)
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are  required, you  will hear a  high-
pitched  warning  sound  from  your  front
brakes or rear brakes. You may hear  this
sound  come  and   go  or  it   may  occur
whenever you depress the brake pedal.
Rear drum brakes (if equipped)
Your rear drum brakes  do not have wear
indicators.Therefore, have the rear brake
linings inspected if you hear a rear brake
rubbing   noise.   Also   have   your   rear
brakes inspected  each time you  change
or rotate  your  tires and  when you  have
the front brakes replaced.
Please remember that  some driving con-
ditions  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.

CAUTION
To avoid  costly brake  repairs, do
not  continue  to drive  with  worn
brake pads.
To engage  the parking brake,  first apply
the foot brake and  then pull up the park-
ing brake lever as far as possible without
pressing the release button.
Always  replace the  front  or  rear
brake pads as pairs.
In addition it  is recommended that when
parking the vehicle on an incline, the shift
lever  should  be  in the  appropriate  low
gear on  manual transaxle  vehicles or in
the   P   (Park)   position   on   automatic
transaxle vehicles.
WARNING - Brake wear
This   brake  wear   warning   sound
means your  vehicle needs service.
If you  ignore this  audible warning,
you  will   eventually   lose  braking
performance, which could lead to a
serious accident.
