GENERAL INFORMATION

Note: 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. Have them inspected by an authorized dealer. If your vehicle

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

have your vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer.

Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels, even under normal

driving conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear and does

not contribute to brake noise. See the Vehicle Care chapter for wheel

cleaning instructions.

See the Instrument Cluster chapter for information on the

brake system warning light.

Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake

pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry

the brakes.

Brake Over Accelerator

In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply

steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and

reduce motor power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes

and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Turn the motor off, shift to position

P and apply the parking brake, then inspect the accelerator pedal for any

interferences. If none are found and the condition persists, have your

vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.

Brake Assist

Brake assist detects when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at

which you press the brake pedal. It provides maximum braking efficiency

as long as you press the pedal. Brake assist can reduce stopping

distances in critical situations.

Anti-Lock Brake System

This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops

by keeping the brakes from locking.

This lamp momentarily illuminates when you turn the ignition

on. If the light does not illuminate during start-up, remains on

or flashes, the anti-lock brake system may be disabled and may

need to be serviced.
