CAUTION:
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.

NOTICE:

I
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.
When you have
the
front brake pads replaced, have the
rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
See “Brake System Inspection” in Section
7
of
this
manual under
Part
C
“Periodic Maintenance
Inspections.”
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 moderate brake stop, your
disc
brakes adjust for wear.
If
you
rarely make a
moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes might not
adjust correctly.
If
you drive in that way, then
--
very
carefully
--
make
a
few moderate brake stops about
every
1,000
miles
(1
600
km),
so
your brakes will
adjust properly.
The park brake system has separate brake linings that
do
not self adjust for wear.
If
the park brake lever pulls
up
more
than
the
normal
eighteen clicks, the parking
brakes may need adjustment. See your dealer.
