Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high-
pitched warning sound from your front or
rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving con-
ditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when you first apply (or lightly
apply) the brakes. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
Hand brake
Applying the hand brake
To engage the hand brake, first apply the
foot brake and then without pressing the
release button, pull the hand brake lever
up as far as possible. In addition it is rec-
ommended that when parking the vehicle
on a gradient, the shift lever should be
positioned in the appropriate low gear on
manual transaxle vehicles or in the P
(Park) position on automatic transaxle
vehicles.
WARNING- Brake wear
This brake wear warning sound
means your vehicle needs service.
If you ignore this audible warning,
you will eventually lose braking
performance, which could lead to aserious accident.
CAUTION
Always replace brake pads as com- plete front or rear axle sets.
CAUTION
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with wornbrake pads.
OHD056005R
CAUTION
Driving with the hand brake applied will cause excessive brake pad and
brake rotor wear.
