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.
Note that some driving conditions 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.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete front or rear axle sets.
Power brakes Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal usage. If the engine is not running or is turned off whilst driving, the power assist for the brakes will not work.
Always set the parking brake before leaving the vehicle, to apply: Firmly depress the brake pedal. Pull up the parking brake lever as far as possible.
Park your car at the side of the road so that you can work with the Tyre Mobility Kit away from moving traffic. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake. Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for sealing/ inflation passenger car tyres.
Your vehicle is equipped with emergency commodities to help you respond to emergency situation. Fire extinguisher If there is small fire and you know how to use the fire extinguisher, follow these steps carefully. 1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the handle from being accidentally pressed.
