WHAT TO
DO
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition.
Also
inspect drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums,
wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adjustment.
You
may need to
have your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or conditions result in frequent
braking.
NOTE:
A
low fluid brake level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be
serviced. Also,
if
the brake system warning light stays on or comes
on
at any time something
may be wrong with either the regular or rear wheel anti-lock brake system, or both systems. See
“Brake Svstem Warning Light” in the Index.
Check clutch pedal free travel and adjust as necessary. See “Clutch Adjustment”
in
the Index.
