Driving your vehicle Brake system
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 brakes or rear brakes.
You may hear this sound come and
go or it may occur whenever you
press the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions 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.
Always replace the front or rear
brake pads as pairs.
Replace brake pads
Do not continue to drive with worn
brake pads. Continuing to drive with
worn brake pads can damage the
braking system and result in costly
brake repairs.
Brake wear
Do not ignore high pitched wear
sounds from your brakes. If you
ignore this audible warning, you will
eventually lose braking perfor
-
mance, which could lead to a serious
accident.
Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable
as the brakes wear and contribute
to brake noise.

Applying the parking brake

2. Depress the parking brake pedal
down as far as possible.

INJURY or DEATH, do not operate
the parking brake whilst the vehicle
is moving except in an emergency
