Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster
Digital Cluster
This light appears on your instrument cluster to warn you if your regular
braking system needs service.
If your vehicle has rear wheel antilock brakes,
this light will
also warn you about trouble in that system. It will also light if
your parking brake is not fully disengaged. See the Index unde\
r “Brake
System Warning Light.”
Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Your vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum 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 m\
ay 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 sooner or later your brakes won’t work well. That could lead to an accident. When yo
hear the brake wear warning sound, have your vehicle serviced. \

13. ENGINE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT INSPECTION*-Inspect belt. Look
for cracks, fraying, wear, and proper tension. Adjust or replac\
e as needed.
14. TIRE AND WHEEL ROTATION AND INSPECTION -For proper wear and maximum tire life, rotate tires at the first
6,000 miles (10 000
kilometers) for Schedule I or 7,500 miles (12 500 kilometers) for
Schedule
II and then every 15,000 miles (25 000 kilometers) thereafter.
Follow the instructions and patterns shown in Section
6. Check tires for
uneven wear or damage.
If irregular or premature wear is apparent,
check wheel alignment. Also, check for damaged wheels. See “\
Tires” in
the Index for more information.
15. DRIVE AXLE SERVICE -Check rear/front axle fluid level and add \
as
needed. Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaki\
ng.
Locking differential -Drain fluid at first oil change and refill. Check
fluid level and add as needed at subsequent oil changes. In d\
usty areas
or trailer towing applications, drain fluid at every 15,000 miles
(24
135 kilometers) and refi1l.t
Standard differential -Check fluid level and add as needed at
every oil change. In dusty areas or trailer towing applications\
, drain
fluid every
15,000 miles (24 135 kilometers) and refil1.t
More frequent lubrication may be required for off-road use.
16. BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION -When the engine oil is changed,
inspect the lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, \
cracks,
chafing, etc. Check the parking brake adjustment, and the fluid\
level in
the master cylinder. A low fluid level can indicate worn disc \
brake pads
which may need to be serviced.t
When the wheels are removed for rotation, inspect disc brake p\
ads for
wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake \
linings for
wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wh\
eel cylinders, parking brake, etc., at the same time.
Inspect brakes more often if driving habits or conditions resul\
t
in
frequent braking.
tA fluid
loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected
and repaired at once.
