Brake Wear

Your vehicle has four-wheel disc brakes.

Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that

make a high-pitched warning sound when the

brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.

The sound may come and go or be heard all

the time your vehicle is moving, except when you

are pushing on the brake pedal ﬁrmly.

{CAUTION:

The brake wear warning sound means that

soon your brakes will not work well. That

could lead to an accident. When you hear

the brake wear warning sound, have your

vehicle serviced.

Notice: Continuing to drive with worn-out

brake pads could result in costly brake repair.

Some driving conditions or climates may cause

a brake squeal when the brakes are ﬁrst applied or

lightly applied. This does not mean something is

wrong with your brakes.

Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help

prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated,

inspect brake pads for wear and evenly tighten

wheel nuts in the proper sequence to GM torque

speciﬁcations.

Brake linings should always be replaced as

complete axle sets.
