BRAKES

Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding

or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out

and should be inspected by a qualified service technician. If the vehicle

has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking,

the vehicle should be inspected by a qualified service technician.

Refer to Brake system warning

light in the Instrument Cluster

chapter for information on the brake

system warning light.

Under normal operating conditions, brake dust may accumulate on the

wheels. Some brake dust is inevitable as brakes wear and does not

contribute to brake noise. The use of modern friction materials with

emphasis on improved performance and environmental considerations

can lead to more dust than in the past. Brake dust can be cleaned by

weekly washing with soapy water and a soft sponge. Heavier deposits can

be removed with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner (ZC-37–A).

Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops

by keeping the brakes from locking. Noise from the ABS pump motor

and brake pedal pulsation may be observed during ABS braking; any

pulsation or mechanical noise you may feel or hear is normal.

Using ABS

When hard braking is required, apply continuous force on the brake

pedal; do not pump the brake pedal since this will reduce the

effectiveness of the ABS and will increase your vehicle’s stopping

distance. The ABS will be activated immediately, allowing you to retain

full steering control during hard braking and on slippery surfaces.

However, the ABS does not decrease stopping distance.

ABS warning lamp

The ABS lamp in the instrument

cluster momentarily illuminates

when the ignition is turned on. If

the light does not illuminate during

start up, remains on or flashes, the

ABS may be disabled and may need to be serviced
