cle not slowing down at the usual
rate and pulling to one side when
the brakes are applied. After
going through water, apply the
brakes lightly to regain smooth
braking performance.

1JBA4005
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 or rear brakes (if equipped). You
may hear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress the
brake pedal.
Parking brake
CAUTION
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets to
ensure smooth brake performance.
To apply the parking brake, pull the park-
ing brake handle fully and firmly upward
while applying the service brake.
CAUTION
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.
Driving with the parking brake
applied will cause excessive brake
pad and brake rotor wear.
