General Information
Note:
Occasional brake noise is normal.If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings could be worn-out, you should have them checked.If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, you should have the system checked.
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
Cleaning the Wheels.
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 engine power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.Switch the engine off, move the transmission to park (P) and apply the parking brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal and the area around it for any items or debris that may be obstructing its movement. If none are found and the condition persists, do not drive your vehicle. Have your vehicle towed to the location you are having it checked.
Emergency Brake Assist
Emergency 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.Emergency 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 switch the ignition on. If the light does not illuminate during start up, remains on or flashes, the anti-lock braking system may be disabled.Have the system checked.If the anti-lock brake system is disabled, normal braking is still effective. | 
If the brake warning lamp illuminates with the parking brake released, have your brake system serviced immediately.It also illuminates momentarily when you switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate when you switch the ignition on, or begins to flash at any time, have the system checked. |
