Driving your vehicle
NOTICE
(Continued)
To  avoid  costly  brake  repairs,  do  not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.  
Wet brakes may result in the vehi-
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.
WARNING - Brake wear
This   brake  wear   warning   sound
means your  vehicle needs  service.
If you  ignore  this audible  warning,
you will eventually lose braking per-
formance,  which  could   lead  to  a
serious accident.
Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
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.
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.
Parking brake
Applying the parking brake
CAUTION
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete   front  or   rear   axle  sets   to
ensure smooth brake performance.
To engage  the parking brake,  first apply
the foot brake and  then without pressing
the  release  button  in,  pull  the  parking
brake lever up as far as possible. In addi-
tion it is recommended that when parking
the vehicle  on a gradient,  the shift  lever
should be  positioned  in the  appropriate
low gear on manual transaxle vehicles or
in  the  P  (Park)   position  on  automatic
transaxle vehicles.
CAUTION
Driving   with   the    parking   brake
applied will  cause excessive  brake
pad (or lining) and brake rotor wear.
