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.

Brake Pedal Travel

See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to

normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in

pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.

Brake Adjustment

Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the

vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
