Brake
Wear
Your Geo has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make
a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads
are
worn
and new
pads
are needed. The sound may come
and
go
or be heard all the time your velvcle
is
moving
(except when you are pushing on the brake pedal
firmly).
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates

si
brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.
Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if
you ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear
brake linings inspected. Also, the rear brake drums
should be removed and inspected each time the tires are
removed for rotation or changing. When you have the
front brakes replaced, have the rear brakes inspected,
too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer
if
the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or
if
there
is
a rapid increase
in
pedal
travel. This could be a sign
of
brake trouble.
Brake
Adjustment
Every time
you
make a brake stop, your
disc
brakes
adjust for wear.
If
your brake pedal
goes
down farther than normal, your
rear drum brakes
may
need adjustment. Adjust them
by
backing up and firmly applying the brakes a few times.
