Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Some  driving  conditions  or  climates  may  cause  a  brake  squeal  w\
hen  the brakes  are  first  applied  or  lightly  applied.  This  does  not  mea\
n  something  is 
wrong  with  your  brakes. 
Rear  Drum  Brakes 
Your  rear  drum  brakes  don’t  have  the  wear  indicators,  but  i\
f  you  ever  hear  a 
rear  brake  rubbing  noise,  have  the  rear  brake  linings  inspected\
.  Also,  the  rear 
brake  drums  should  be  removed  and  inspected  each  time  the  tire\
s  are 
removed  for  rotation  or  changing.  When  you  have  the  front  brak\
es  replaced, 
have  the  rear  brakes  inspected,  too. 
Brake  linings  should  always  be  replaced  as  complete  axle  sets. \
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  s\
ign  of brake 
trouble. 
Brake  Adjustment 
Every  time  you  make  a  brake  stop,  your  disc  brakes  adjust  for\
  wear. If your 
brake  pedal  goes  down  farther  than  normal,  your  rear  drum  brak\
es  may  need 
adjustment.  Adjust  them  by  backing  up  and  firmly  applying  the  \
brakes  a  few 
times. 
Braking  In Emergencies 
At some  time,  nearly  every  driver  gets  into  a situation  that  requires  hard 
braking.  You have  the  rear  wheel  antilock  braking  system.  Your front  wheels 
can  stop  rolling  when  you  brake  very  hard.  Once  they  do,  the \
 vehicle  can’t  respond  to  your  steering.  Momentum  will  carry 
it in  whatever  direction it was 
headed  when  the  front  wheels  stopped  rolling.  That  could  be  of\
f  the  road, 
into  the  very  thing  you  were  trying  to avoid,  or  into  traffic. 
So, use  a  “squeeze”  braking  technique.  This  will  give  you  max\
imum  braking 
while  maintaining  steering  control.  You  do this by pushing  on  the  brake  pedal 
with  steadily  increasing  pressure.  When  you  do,  it will  help  maintain  steering 
control.  In  many  emergencies,  steering  can  help  you  more  than  \
even  the  very 
best  braking. 
Steering 
Power  Steering 
If you  lose  power  steering  assist  because  the  engine  stops  or  the\
  system 
fails  to  function,  you  can  steer  but 
it will  take  much  more  effort.
