AKENG44_Escalade Page 267 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 3 Disc Brake Wear Indicators 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 ones are needed. 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 the vehicle serviced. NOTICE Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper torque specification. – Some conditions or climates may cause disc brakes to squeal when they are first or lightly applied. This does not indicate a problem with the brakes. Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets. NOTICE Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repairs. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. See "Specifications and Capacities" in Section 4 for the proper wheel nut torque. – – 267 . . .

Starting and Operating Instructions<br />

Locking Rear Axle<br />

The locking rear axle can give<br />

added traction on snow, ice, etc.<br />

Normally, the locking axle<br />

unit works like a standard axle.<br />

However, when either drive wheel<br />

is on a slippery surface and the<br />

opposite wheel has better traction,<br />

the locking unit can continue to<br />

move the vehicle even though<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the wheels may initially be<br />

spinning.<br />

■ STEERING<br />

Power Steering<br />

If you lose power steering assist<br />

because the engine stops or the<br />

system is malfunctioning, you can<br />

still steer but it will take much<br />

more effort.<br />

■ BRAKES<br />

If the engine stops as you're<br />

driving, brake normally but don't<br />

pump your brakes. If the engine<br />

stops, you will have some power<br />

brake assist left, but it's used up as<br />

you brake.<br />

The brake pedal may be harder to<br />

push and it may take longer to<br />

stop.<br />
