Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
When your brake pads are worn and
it’s time for new pads, you will hear a
high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes. You may hear this
sound come and go or it may occur
whenever you depress the brake
pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, pull the
parking brake handle fully and firmly
upward while applying the service
brake.
