High Performance Brake
For vehicles equipped with the High 
Performance Brake (large-diameter 
brembo brakes for enhanced braking 
performance), noise such as a squeal, 
squeak or groan is generated while 
braking. This is normal and the friction 
may create circle patterns on the disc 
surface. This is also a normal situation 
which does not affect braking 
performance.
 
• Occasional brake noise is normal. If a 
continuous grinding or continuous 
squeal sound is present, the brake 
lining may be worn-out. Have your 
vehicle checked by an authorized 
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
• If the vehicle has continuous vibration 
or shudder in the steering wheel while 
braking, have your vehicle be checked 
by an authorized retailer of Genesis 
Branded products.
 
 
Frequent speeding and braking may 
deform components and worn the disc 
brake causing vibration when braking. 
Prevent brake damage by avoiding 
excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration from 
excessive braking or deformation of the 
brakes caused by repeatedly braking in 
high speed, racing on tracks, etc. can be 
excluded from warranty coverage.
 
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new 
pads are required, you will hear a high 
pitched warning sound from your front or 
rear brakes. You may hear this sound 
come and go or it may occur whenever 
you depress the brake pedal.
 
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not 
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
 
 
Always replace brake pads as complete 
front or rear axle sets.
