(Continued)
CAUTION
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue  to drive with worn
brake pads.
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
Wet  brakes may  result in  the
vehicle  not  slowing  down  at
the  usual rate  and  pulling  to
one side  when the brakes  are
applied.  Applying  the  brakes
lightly   will  indicate   whether
they have been affected in this
way. Always  test  your brakes
in  this   fashion  after   driving
through deep water.To dry the
brakes,   apply    them   lightly
while  maintaining  a  safe for-
ward  speed  until   brake  per-
formance returns to normal.

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 when-
ever 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.
WARNING - Brake wear
This brake wear  warning sound
means your vehicle needs serv-
ice.  If  you  ignore  this  audible
warning, you will eventually lose
braking
performance,    which
could lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Always  replace  brake  pads  as
complete front or rear axle sets.
