NOTICE:
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts.
For
example, just a few
drops
of
mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake system can damage brake
system parts
so
badly that they’ll have to be
replaced. Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind of fluid.
If
you spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s
painted surfaces, the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to spill brake fluid
on your vehicle.
If
you do, wash it
off
immediately. See “Appearance Care” in
the Index.
Brake
Wear
Your vehicle has four-wheel disc 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 vehicle
is
moving (except when
you
are pushing on the brake
pedal firmly).
The brake wear warning sound means that
soon
your brakes won’t work well. That could lead
to
an accident. When you hear the brake
wear
warning sound, have your vehicle serviced.
I
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
