Brake Wear (ZR1 Only)
The ZR1 model does not have built-in brake pad wear
indicators and periodic visual inspection of the brake
pads is required to determine when to replace the
brake pads.
Notice: Continuing to drive with worn-out brake
pads could result in costly brake repair.
.Make sure that the brakes have been given
sufficient time to cool and then set the park brake.
RearFront
.Brake pads can be visually inspected through the
wheel by inspecting the outer brake pads at each
wheel.
.Brake pads should be replaced when worn to
two mm of pad thickness. New pads are 10 mm
thick.
.In addition, brake pad inspection is required any
time the tires are removed.
The ZR1 also has an electronic brake pad wear sensor
system. When pads are worn, the CHANGE BRAKE
PADS message displays in the Driver Information
Center. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on
page 4‑52.
Some driving conditions or climates can cause a
brake squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
the brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
