Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by Toyota or products of equivalent quality and specification.In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those in the braking system, Toyota selects and offers very specific products.After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two ser vices.
Checking this system must be done by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
