Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped in an open area for

long periods of time, open the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch).

Adjust the heating or air conditioning (if equipped) to bring in fresh air.

Improve vehicle ventilation by keeping all air inlet vents clear of snow,

leaves and other debris.

BRAKES

Your service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the scheduled

maintenance guide for scheduled maintenance.

Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a

performance concern with the vehicle’s brake system. In normal

operation, automotive brake systems may emit occasional or intermittent

squeal or groan noises when the brakes are applied. Such noises are

usually heard during the first few brake applications in the morning;

however, they may be heard at any time while braking and can be

aggravated by environmental conditions such as cold, heat, moisture,

road dust, salt or mud. If a “metal-to-metal,” “continuous grinding” or

“continuous squeal” sound is present while braking, the brake linings

may be worn-out and should be inspected by a qualified service

technician.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped)

On vehicles equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), a noise

from the hydraulic pump motor and pulsation in the pedal may be

observed during ABS braking events. Pedal pulsation coupled with noise

while braking under panic conditions or on loose gravel, bumps, wet or

snowy roads is normal and indicates proper functioning of the vehicle’s

anti-lock brake system. The ABS performs a self-check after you start

the engine and begin to drive away. A brief mechanical noise may be

heard during this test. This is normal. If a malfunction is found, the ABS

warning light will come on. If the vehicle has continuous vibration or

shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the vehicle should be

inspected by a qualified service technician.
