Section 3<br />

Disc Brake Wear Indicators<br />

Your vehicle has four-wheel disc<br />

brakes.<br />

Disc brake pads have built-in<br />

wear indicators that make a<br />

high-pitched warning sound when<br />

the brake pads are worn and new<br />

ones are needed.<br />

CAUTION<br />

The brake wear warning sound<br />

means that soon your brakes<br />

won’t work well. That could<br />

lead to an accident. When you<br />

hear the brake wear warning<br />

sound, have the vehicle<br />

serviced.<br />

NOTICE<br />

Improperly tightened wheel<br />

nuts can lead to brake pulsation<br />

and rotor damage. To avoid<br />

expensive brake repairs, evenly<br />

tighten the wheel nuts in the<br />

proper sequence and to the<br />

proper torque specification.<br />

–<br />

Some conditions or climates may<br />

cause disc brakes to squeal when<br />

they are first or lightly applied.<br />

This does not indicate a problem<br />

with the brakes.<br />

Brake linings should always be<br />

replaced as complete axle sets.<br />

NOTICE<br />

Continuing to drive with<br />

worn-out brake pads could<br />

result in costly brake repairs.<br />

The repairs would not be<br />

covered by your warranty.<br />

See "Specifications and<br />

Capacities" in Section 4 for the<br />

proper wheel nut torque.<br />
